He did not try to slow the decline of the empire as such. He tired to prevent the reoccurrence of the political fragmentation that had been caused by a string of usurpers who were hailed as emperors by their legions and tried to become rulers of their areas. He also tired to make the defence of the vast borders of the empire, which had overstretched the army, more efficient.
Realising that one man could not control the empire on his own, he shared power. He created the tetrarchy (rule by four) which was a 2+2 system of government He appointed Maximian as co-emperor and put him in charge of the western area. Maximian set up an imperial court in Milan. Diocletian took charge of the east and set up his court in Nicodemia (northwest Turkey). The then created two junior emperors (he called them Caesars) to help him and Maximian who were then titled Augustus (senior emperor). The Caesars were given a portion of the areas of the two augusti which was troubled by barbarian attacks. One of them was given Gaul and the task of defending the sensitive Rhine frontier which was under continuous attack by the Franks and Alemanni. The other was given the Balkan peninsula to guard the Danube frontier which also often came under attack.
Diocletian's rule was autocratic. He put the empire under tight control by creating a large bureaucracy which took much of local administration away from traditional local administrators on his behalf.

What brought the Roman Empire to ruin?
The decline of the Roman empire was a slow process. The end result was the disintegration of what can be called the western part of the empire. The so called eastern half of the empire would be called the Byzantine Empire and last until 1453 when the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople. Frequently cited causes of Rome's decline are partly economic: 1. By the end of the 3rd century AD CE Rome had lost its vigor for its imperialistic form of foreign policy. There were no new lands it was able to conquer and thus no new tax revenues, slave enterprise, no new peoples to bring into the mix of the empire as it had done much earlier in its growth. 2. The agricultural and industrial part of the economy was slave driven, and as cited above, no new slaves were available. 3. As with many economic downturns, gold and silver currency lay uninvested and took no part in reversing the decline. 4. The western half of the empire operated in a closed manner and the vigorous commercial trading that had once spanned the empire began to be localized. The Roman government was aware of the decline and failed to stop it when the coinage was debased. What could be bought with 10 pieces of silver now cost as example 15 pieces. 1. The government tried to freeze prices and wages. A nearly impossible task in the US in the 1970's and impossible in an old empire. 2. Trying to control the activities of farm owners and their workers to a planned economy did not help. 3. Various forms of taxation to control the economy by shifts in tax burdens failed. 4. Private initiative basically and slowly declined. 5. The government could no longer fund a military force to stop incursions from barbarians.
What is the relationship between the Roman Empire and the various medieval empires that used the same name?
There were four empires that called themselves the Roman Empire: the ancient Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Carolingian Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire. The ancient Roman Empire divided at different times, between an eastern half and a western half. It divided in 395, at the death of Emperor Theodosius I, and remained divided until the West Roman Empire fell in the 5th century. The date usually given is 476, but in fact it was a slow process drawn out over many years. The East Roman Empire remained intact, and continued until it fell in 1453. It was always called the Roman Empire by the people who lived there, and by many others. Today, we call the medieval East Roman Empire by the name Byzantine Empire, a name that was invented in the 17th century. Though it is not what they were called by anyone at the time, it is a useful name because it distinguishes them from the ancient Roman Empire, and from other empires that also claimed to be Roman. Modern historians date the change from East Roman Empire to Byzantine Empire as early as 395 AD, the death of Theodosius I, to as late as 610 AD, when the official language of the empire was changed from Latin to Greek. In 800 AD, Pope Leo III, for whatever reasons, crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of the Roman People. This angered the people of the Byzantine Empire, because they claimed to be the Empire of the Roman People and did not recognize Charlemagne as their emperor. Later, the Byzantine emperors recognized the heirs to Charlemagne's empire as emperors, but not as emperors of the Roman People. This empire was made up of most of France, most of Germany, Switzerland, the northern half of Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and bits of Austria, Spain, and other countries. It divided after he died into three kingdoms, and one of the kings was the emperor, but the kings fought over the title, and it quickly had no real authority associated with it. The last person to have it died in 927 AD. Today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire, and give it the dates of 800 to 927. In 962 AD, Otto I was crowned as emperor. This was really interesting in a way, because he was just the Emperor of the [unnamed] Empire, which was the eastern part, a bit more than half, of the old Carolingian Empire. It seems the emperors of this empire did not want to antagonize the people of the Byzantine Empire at first, and so it was not until around 1030 that people began calling it the Roman Empire again. This empire began calling itself the Holy Roman Empire in the 16th century, after the Middle Ages were over. During much of the Middle Ages, it was also called Germany, and between the time its rulers took power and their coronations, which was years in many cases, they were referred to by the title King of Germany. Modern historians refer to it as the Holy Roman Empire for all parts of its history back to the coronation of Otto I.

When and why did ancient Rome end?
Ancient Rome is generally defined as the period between the 8th century BC and the 3rd century AD and ended gradually with the failure of a number of military, political and economic missteps. The beginning of the end occurred with the assassination of Alexander Severus in 235 AD, after which a succession of short term rulers failed to establish control. Ultimately, a number of failed invasions from foreign armies weakened the power structure of the empire until it eventually met a gradual division and Ultimate demise with the end of the Caran Dynasty in 285 AD.
Why did the Roman Empire collapse-?
I think the most important reason why the Roman Empire collapsed was because it became too overstretched and large. That meant that the defence was great but too little. Their wasn't enough soldiers to defend all of the Roman Empire from great attack. It was too much like a Lobster. Once attackers got through the armoured shell there was nothing but undefended fleshy parts, and because the Empire was becoming to large, other problems because of this led from one to the other. For example, More land to rule means more soldiers to guard it. More soldiers means more money and food you need to give them. More land ruled by Rome means closer enemies and more of them which can lead into soldiers deaths. Rome became so desperate they allowed 'barbarians' join the Roman army which led to them turning against them turning against Rome.

What are reasons for the roman empire collapse?
The decline of the Roman Empire refers to the societal collapse encompassing both the gradual disintegration of the political, economic, military, and other social institutions of Rome and the barbarian invasions that were its final doom. This slow decline occurred over an estimated period of 320 years which many historians believe finally culminated on September 4, 476 when Romulus Augustus, the last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire was deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic chieftain. Many scholars maintain that rather than a definite "fall" or "collapse" of the Roman Empire, the changes can be more accurately described as a complex transformation.
Who divided the empire into two parts?
Emperor Diocletian in CE 285. However, the empire was reunified for short periods of time, like the reign of Emperors Constantine, Julian the Apostate, and Theodosius I. Also, the Eastern Empire had re-invaded the Western Empire during the reign of Justinian I and tried to recreate and rebuild the empire, but with his death the Western part of the Byzantine Empire was retaken by Barbarians.

How was the pax romana responsible for the fall of rome?
The Pax Romana was not responsible for the decline of Rome. In fact the wisdom of Augustus and the strength of it created an ongoing momentum that even the worst Emperors could not destroy. Augustus ushered in almost 2 centuries of cultural achievements, prosperity and relative peace. So yes the Pax Romana refers to the period from 27 BC to 180 BC where there was internal stability and peace withing the empire. The policies of Augustus regarding how the empire would operate began when he took power and decided to downsize the military and use influence and negotiation to settle dispute rather than raise an army to settle matters. Under the Pax Romana, there was further expansion of the empire by conquest however. The Pax Romana was not a factor in the decline of Rome. In fact a sound argument that the Pax Romana prolonged the Roman Empire can be made. Most historians mark the crisis of the 3rd century as the beginning of the decline, and it was a very slow decline of Rome's power.
