The Emperor Diocletian was the one who created the Tetrarchy. The Tetrarchy was the division of the Roman Empire into four parts, with a co-emperors ruling over each quarter. Diocletian also oversaw the last period of persecution against Christians in the Roman Empire.
It made the empire easier to manage because responsibilities were divided among four people. The creation of the tetrarchy followed the Crisis of the Third Century. This was a period of military anarchy in which military commanders were hailed as emperors by their own troops and were then challenged by other commanders who were hailed as emperors by their own troops. Many emperors were murdered, sometimes even by their own troops who had elevated them as emperors because they did not want to fight a civil war. Diocletian realised that one man could not rule the empire alone. He shared power with Maximian, who he made his co-emperor. The former took charge of the east and the latter was in charge of the west. Diocletian then created two junior emperors (Caesar), Constantius and Galerius. Diocletian and Maximian became senior emperor (Augustusti). Constantius was appointed because of the need to suppress a rebellion in Britannia and northern Gaul. The junior emperors were given the task of defending the frontiers along the rivers Rhine and Danube respectively, which were vulnerable to attacks. Therefore, another aspect of the tetrarchy was the improvement of the defence of the frontiers of the empire.
Diocletian sought to stop Rome's decline by instituting a series of reforms that aimed to stabilize the empire's economy and administration. He divided the empire into smaller, manageable provinces and established the Tetrarchy, which created four co-emperors to better govern and respond to local issues. Additionally, he enacted price controls and wage regulations to combat inflation and improve economic stability. These reforms helped temporarily restore order but did not ultimately prevent the empire's long-term decline.
