Also see . . . Diocletioan -- Ancient History Encyclopedia. Diocletian understood that a major problem in ruling a territory of the extent of the Roman Empire was its immense size. It was far too large to be ruled by just one person, so one of the first actions taken by the new emperor was to split the empire into two parts....he named an Illyrian officer (who happened to be his son-in-law) named Maximian as Caesar in the west....Diocletian, who was never very fond of the city of Rome, would remain emperor in the east.
