A map of the division of the Roman Empire under Emperor Diocletian A map of the division of the Roman Empire under Emperor Diocletian. After decades of civil war, Diocletian became the sole emperor in 284. Having recognized that the empire was too vast for one man to rule, he divided it into an eastern and a western half with a co-emperor in charge of each. Both rulers used the title Augustus, which by then had become synonymous with emperor. This division was intended by Diocletian to be permanent, although constitutionally the east and west remained parts of one empire. In 324, Constantine ordered a "new Rome" built as the capital of the eastern half, naming it Constantinople ("City of Constantine") after himself.
