To help strengthen the Roman government, Augustus used a two pronged approach. First, he kept the important powers for himself as the "first citizen". By doing this he insured that he would have the necessary time to carry out his reforms, as opposed to the one year term limit imposed on the consuls. The second major prong of his approach was in the area of the military. To lessen the chance of another civil war disrupting the Pax Romana, Augustus had all the legions swear their oath of allegiance to him rather than to their commanders as had been done previously. This way an ambitious general would have a difficult time persuading his troops to march on Rome, as the Romans took oaths very seriously.

How did the eastern Roman Empire help unite the Roman Empire?

There was only the Roman Empire. This is the only term the Romans had. Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire are terms invented by historians. What happened is that co-emperors were established, with one in the eastern part and the other in the western one. This was done to improve the defence of vast frontiers of the empire which were often under attack. One emperor concentrated on those in the west and the other on those in the east. Therefore, it cannot be said that the Eastern Roman Empire helped to unite an empire which was not divided.
