The advantage of Diocletian's tetrarchy was supposed to make the empire easier to govern with the two Caesars and the two Augustii each having his own sphere of responsibility. As history tells us, it only worked for a short time, before jealousy and ambition caused problems.

Answer 3

With the tetrachy there were two senior emperor in charge of the east and the west of the empire respectively. Two junior emperors were put in charge of the troubled areas of the river Rhine and Danube frontiers which where under continuous attacks. Diocletian realised that one man could not rule the empire alone and that there was a need to improve the security of the frontiers. This arrangement greatly improved the administration of the frontier areas and the deployment of troops for their defence. However, after Diocletian the tetrarchs begun to fight each other, leading to civil wars.

Answer 4

Diocletian realised that one man could not rule the empire alone. The Empire had just come out of the Crisis of the Third Century, a 60-year period were many of the emperors had been proclaimed by their own troops and many were then murdered by troops, sometimes even their own troops. Some legions would proclaim their commander emperor and then another commander would challenge this with the support of his troops. The murder of emperors often occurred when troops did not want to fight a civil wars or they were assassinated in a coup. In addition to this a) there were often rebellions in parts of the empire and there were also, for a period, two breakaway part of the empire, b) there were constant attempts to invade the empire by its neighbours.

Diocletian first created a co-emperorship with fellow general Maximian, with Diocletian in charge of the east and Maximian in charge of the west, in 285. A co-emperorship was not new. The difference was that previously power was shared between an emperor and his son. Since Diocletian had no male issue, he had to turn to another military man. The co-emperorship was meant to improve imperial control over the empire and to defend the empire better.

Diocletian appointed two junior emperors, thus creating the tetrarchy, eight years later. Since Maximian was struggling to suppress a rebellion by Carausius in Britannia and northern Gaul, Diocletian transferred the command of this war to Flavius Constantius sometime between 291 and 293. In 293 he entrusted Galerius with the command of the war against the Persians, who wanted to invade the empire. In that year Constantius and Galerius were made junior emperors. The former was put in charge Gaul and Britannia and the latter was put in charge of the territories in the east (the provinces in the Asiatic continent and Egypt). Thus the creation of junior emperors was linked to internal rebellion and an external threat. Diocletian then subdivided the empire into three broad units called praetorian prefecture. Each of the emperors was in charge of one of these units to increase internal control and improve defence.

The tertiary was not the only measure Diocletian introduced to improve imperial control. He doubled the number of provinces to make them smaller to reduce the power-base of provincial governors, who could be potential rebels. He also reduced their remit and their powers. He also grouped the provinces into twelve dioceses which were governed by imperial bureaucrat, and to which the provinces were subordinated, thus further increasing imperial control. He also doubled the size of the imperial court and the imperial bureaucracy.
