When the emperor died he had two sons.

Because when a man died, his belongings would go to his sons, the empire was divided in two halves. Each son of the roman emperor got a halve of the empire.

If he would have had 3 sons, it would have been divided in 3 parts.

Why is the roman empire separated into two sections?

The Roman Empire was divided into two sections—Eastern and Western—primarily for administrative efficiency and defense. The vast size of the empire made it challenging to govern effectively from a single center, leading to the establishment of two capitals: Rome in the West and Constantinople in the East. This division became more pronounced due to political instability, economic challenges, and external pressures, ultimately contributing to the West's fall in 476 AD while the Eastern Empire, later known as the Byzantine Empire, continued to thrive for nearly a thousand more years.

Why was roman empire divided into two sections?

I'm certainly not portraying myself as an expert of Roman history, but what I remember from my history classes and the multitude of History Channel episodes on Rome, I believe the main reason was that it was the only way to manage what had become a huge empire. It was simply too large and too involved for one person to effectively control.Diocletian decided that the empire was too big for one person to govern so he split the empire in two and instated a co-emperor.
