Each prefecture had a separate ruler (Tetrarchy) All reported to Diocletian’s military power 301 AD Stabilized economy and fought inflation by setting wage and price controls Constantine (306-337AD) Expanded the prefectures Constructed a capital in the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) Becomes known as Constantinople (Now called Istanbul) Built for defensive purposes (Why?)

The Decline of Rome Military Reform The Army Expanded the army to 500,000 soldiers Included the use of German soldiers Frontier units defended the borders Mobile units responded to problems and provided back up Civil Service Expansion required an increase in revenue Not enough people to support current tax base Required certain jobs to be passed down to offspring
