"In 286, the Emperor Diocletian decided to divide Rome into two sections to try and stabilize the empire. For 100 years Rome experienced more divisions and in 395 BC it finally became The Western Empire and The Eastern Empire.

"The division changed Roman life and government forever. There were now two emperors in each half and they governed independently."
