What Happened to the Great Roman Empire?

What was at once the Roman empire’s greatest achievement, but also it’s greatest problem? The Size of it’s Territory!

THE EAST!!! So, along comes Roman emperor DIOCLETIAN. He’s got a problem with the size of his territory. What do you think he did? IN 284 AD HE SPLIT IT IN HALF! Which half do YOU think he took? THE EAST!!!

One more thing about Diocletian My religion is PAGANISM. I worship many gods, like Venus, Mars and Jupiter. “I hate Christians” Under Diocletian’s rule many Christians in the Roman empire were murdered and their churches were burned!

Emperor Constantine (274 AD-337AD) He established the capitol of the Eastern Roman empire in a town called “Byzantium”. That’s why it became known as the Byzantine Empire!! BYZANTIUM was an old GREEK city.

ISTANBUL Byzantium was renamed Constantinople It became the wealthiest and most beautiful city in the world! WHY? Because of its strategic location between Asia and Europe! Today this city is known as…. ISTANBUL
