The tetrarchy system that Diocletian put in place was intended to make the ruling of the empire easier by dividing the territory into four administrative centers with a supreme ruler for each center. The four rulers had equal powers.
Diocletian first pushed back the Sassanids and the Germans. Then he ended the revolts. Then he tried to solve the problem of the civil wars between the two halves of the army. Diocletian worked out a system where there would always be two Emperors, and each of these Emperors would have two assistants. This system is called the Tetrarchy (rule of four). When one of the Emperors died, his assistant would move up to being Emperor, and choose a new assistant.
It represents the Tetrarchs. This is a term which has been coined to indicate the emperors of the system of government created by the emperor Diocletian. In 285 he designated his fellow general Maximian as co-emperor. in 293 the designated two junior emperors (Caesars) who were subordinated to Diocletian and Maximian who became senior emperors (Augusti). This system had been termed the tetrarchy (rule by four in Greek). Hence the term tetrarchs for the four emperors.
For his reforms. His most famous action was when he split the Roman Empire in to halves. The West Roman Empire (fell in 476 AD) and the East Roman Empire , later the Byzantine Empire (fell in 1453 AD).

Constantius Chlorus, whose full name was Flavius Valerius Constantius, was a Roman emperor who reigned from 293 to 306 AD. He was the father of Constantine the Great and played a key role in the Tetrarchy, a system of joint rule established by Emperor Diocletian. Constantius Chlorus was known for his military successes and efforts to restore stability to the Roman Empire.

The splitting of the Roman Empire by Diocletian in 286 AD was primarily for administrative purposes. The tetrarchy system was introduced to share power and stabilize the empire. Diocletian ruled the eastern half while three other rulers (Maximian, Galerius, and Constantius Chlorus) ruled the western half, collectively known as the tetrarchs. This division eventually laid the foundation for the later division of the empire into Western and Eastern Roman Empires.
The Roman general who became emperor in AD 284 and established the tetrarchy was Diocletian. He divided the empire into four regions, each with its own ruler, to efficiently govern the vast territory. This system aimed to stabilize the political and military situation of the Roman Empire during a time of instability and external threats.

The type of government was the tetrarchy (rule by four). Each of the four parts of the empire was headed by one of four co-emperors, two senior ones (Augusti) and to junior ones (Caesars). The system was the opposite of that of the US, where the states have a large degree of autonomy from the central government. One of the purposes of Diocletian's system was to increase the control of the central government over the governors of the provinces of the Roman Empire.

In 294 CE, an important event was the establishment of the Tetrarchy by Roman Emperor Diocletian. This system divided the Roman Empire into four regions, each ruled by a co-emperor, to improve administration and address the challenges of governance and military defense. The Tetrarchy aimed to create a more stable and efficient government, marking a significant shift in the structure of Roman imperial authority. This approach ultimately influenced the future of the Roman Empire and its governance.
That would be Emperor Diocletian. He realised that one man alone could not defend the vast frontiers of the empire which stretched from Holland to Armenia. He created the tetrarchy (rule by four). He appointed Maximian as senior co-emperor (Augusti), with Maximian taking charge of the west and himself taking charge of the east. He also created two junior emperors (Caesars) who were subordinate to the senior ones and took change of the most troubled frontier areas; the river Rhine in the west and the river Danube in the east. It is sometimes erroneously said that Diocletian divided the empire. He did not. The tetrarchy was an administrative system designed to improve the defence of the frontiers of one single empire. The tetrarchy was short lived. It soon broke apart because of infighting among the tetrarchs.
Diocletian created four new imperial capitals. He designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as an imperial capital in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan an imperial capital in the western part of the empire. This was because he created a co-emperorship with his fellow general Maximian. Diocletian took charge if the eastern regions and Maximian took charge of the western ones. Diocletian then designated two further imperial capitals, Augusta Treverorum(modern Trier, in present day Germany) and Sirmium (in present day Serbia). This was because he also appointed two junior emperors (Caesars), Galerius and Constantius Chlorus, who were subordinates of Diocletian and Maximian respectively, who became senior emperors (Augusti). Galerius took charge of the Balkan Peninsulas (except for Thrace) and Constantius took charge of Gaul, Britannia and Hispania. This system was called the tetrarchy (rule by four) which was aimed at improving imperial control over the empire. Rome ceased to be the capital. The new capitals were closer to the frontiers which needed to be defended.
