Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans did not have them and used only one term: Roman Empire. Historian use the term to indicate the western and eastern part of the Roman Empire. Emperor Diocletian created a co-emperorship with fellow general Maximian in 286. Diocletian was in charge of the east and Maximian was in charge of the west. Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) was designated the imperial capital for the east and Milan was designated the imperial capital for the west. This was not a splitting of the Roman Empire. It was an administrative arrangement designed to improve the defence vast frontiers of the empire. The western part of the empire included the Roman possessions in western Europe, including Britain, and Africa (Northern Morocco, coastal Algeria, Tunisia and western coastal Libya). The eastern part included southeastern Europe (the Balkan Peninsula) the possessions in Asia (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and the northern part of the coast on the red Sea of Saudi Arabia), Egypt and eastern coastal Libya. Emperor Constantine the great moved the capital of the east from Nicomedia to the nearby Byzantium, which he redeveloped and renamed Constantinople in 330.
