Constantine split the Roman Empire into the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. It should be noted however that the emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD ) made this easier as he was the first to divide the empire into two parts, a western and eastern empire to be ruled separately. The emperors who followed Constantine, Julian and Theodosius I, made permanent the division of the Roman Empire into an eastern and western half.

They raided the eastern part of the empire three times, tried to invade Gaul but were repelled, and tried to invade to Italy, but had to give up because of a famine in Italy and because the Roman army attacked their homeland.
