What is diocletion?

Diocletian was a Roman emperor, best known for his dividing the empire, thinking it would be easier to rule. He is the only Roman emperor to retire and live out his life away from politics, they say growing cabbages.


Why was the roman emperor Diocletian so famous?

Diocletian is famous for his superb organizational skills. He divided the Roman Empire into Eastern and Western Empires, and completely reorganized their governments and armies which made them more efficient to manage. He ruled in the East, and both he and the Western Emperor shared rule with co-emperors. With Roman lands being ruled by four emperors instead of one, the authority was more evenly spread and easily managed. The Roman Legion was abolished and replaced with a smaller unit which gave ambitious generals fewer men to lead a revolt with. Also, Diocletian became the first Roman Emperor to retire and live out his remaining years quietly, instead of being assassinated as was the previous tradition for changing emperors. Instead of ruling with force and showmanship, Diocletian ruled with beauracracy.

How did Rome fall?

The ancient Roman Empire fell because it was unable to logistically maintain its military supremacy in Europe. This was despite the de facto control of the government by military leaders in place of the Emperor. After the fall of Rome to Germanic mercenaries in 476 AD, the eastern or Byzantine Empire continued for another 1,000 years until conquered by the Ottomans in the 1400's.In Some DetailThe Western Roman Empire which was ruled by the City of Rome fell because of the lack of manpower to defend its borders from Barbarians who all wanted a piece of the Roman Land. Bad Emperor after Bad Emperor was put on the throne. Each Legion of the Roman Army wanted one of their own people on the throne. Finally, Constantine became Emperor and moved the Capital to Constantinople (modern day Istanbul). While this happened, the Western Empire was put into ruin. More and More often the Western Roman Empire was forced to make deals with the Barbarians who said that they would defend the Western Roman Empire if they were allowed to live in Roman territories.One day Alaric, leader of the Visigoth, realized that Roman Forces were spread thinly in the Empire and in AD 410 he and his Army began to cautiously move South and into Italy. The Romans might have just withdrawn to the Italian Peninsula and held that for another 100-200 years until they had the manpower to retake Europe. But instead, the Roman Army let the barbarians move unopposed through Italy. When they finally reached the city of Rome, they sacked the city. Other barbarians came and attacked the city, but the City of Rome finally stayed out of Roman hands when Romulus Augustus became Emperor of Rome. When Romulus was removed from power in 476 AD, the emperor Zeno of the Eastern Empire accepted the Germanic chieftain Odoacer as ruler of Italy. This marked the end of the Western Roman Empire. :P
