DIVISION OF EMPIRE
Roman Empire 271 AD
Diocletian (ruled 284-305 CE)
The empire was reunited by Diocletian by 285 CE, but then decided to divide into two so as to facilitate more efficient administration. In so doing, he created theWestern Roman Empireand theEastern Roman Empire(also known as the Byzantine Empire).
285 CE the empire had grown too vast to be ruled from the central government atRome, so was divided.
Eastern Empire - The Byzantine Empire, continued on for 1000 years until the death of Constantine XI the fall of Constantinopleto the Ottoman Turks in 1453 CE.
Western Roman Empire, including Rome, collapsed in 476 CE when lastRoman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was deposed by the Germanic KingOdoacer(476 CE).
Fun facts about Eastern Roman Empire
Byzantine art is almost entirely focused on religion.
The official language of the Byzantine Empire was Latin until 700 CE when it was changed to Greek by Emperor Heraclius.
Constantinople was attacked and plundered by the Crusaders during the Fourth Crusade.
The emperor often paid gold or a tribute to enemies to keep them from attacking.
Emperor Justinian granted the rights of women to buy and own land which was a big help to widows after their husbands had died.
From the time of the early Roman Republic to the fall of the Byzantine Empire, Roman rule had a major impact on Europe for nearly 2000 years.
Dicoletian successors
Maxentius and Constantine
Following Diocletians death in 311 CE, Maxentius and Constantine plunged the empire again into civil war in 312 CE.
CONSTANTINE(306-337 CE)
In 312 CE Constantine defeated Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge and became sole emperor of both the Western and Eastern Empires. He believed that God was the key to his success and thus encourage people to have religions, especially Christian.
