The Emperor Diocletian thought that the Roman Empire had too many problems and that it should be split in two.
Emperor Constantine fought to reunite the empire; he created a new capital called Constantinople in 330 CE.
The reunited Roman Empire was only temporary and it separated permanently in 395 CE.
The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 CE; the Eastern Roman Empire became the Byzantine Empire.
