He was a Roman emperor but he mostly governed the Eastern half of the empire
No. Constantine defeated a rival general named Severus to become Emperor of Rome. In fact, Diocletian was the first emperor to abdicate, and he lived out the rest of his life quietly.

Diocletian first pushed back the Sassanids and the Germans. Then he ended the revolts. Then he tried to solve the problem of the civil wars between the two halves of the army. Diocletian worked out a system where there would always be two Emperors, and each of these Emperors would have two assistants. This system is called the Tetrarchy (rule of four). When one of the Emperors died, his assistant would move up to being Emperor, and choose a new assistant.
Diocletian realized the Roman Empire was too large for one man to rule well.
Rome It's Roman not Rome!

Constantine defeated Emperors Maxentius and Licinius and reunited the Empire under his sole rule reversing Diocletian's splitting it into four.
Diocletian divided Rome because he thought it was too big and it would take months to receive a message and send one back so he divided it into western Rome and eastern Rome after time passed eastern Rome became better because all the money that China was sending eastern Rome received it. Also as time passed western Rome got invaded by the barbarians and the sabotaged all of western Rome. Many people say that Rome fell but other people consider it as it being adapted :)

Diocletian
Augustus did not divide Rome, it was Diocletian who divided the empire.
The splitting of the Roman Empire by Diocletian in 286 AD was primarily for administrative purposes. The tetrarchy system was introduced to share power and stabilize the empire. Diocletian ruled the eastern half while three other rulers (Maximian, Galerius, and Constantius Chlorus) ruled the western half, collectively known as the tetrarchs. This division eventually laid the foundation for the later division of the empire into Western and Eastern Roman Empires.
He basically split the empire in half east and west. The east's capital was Rome and the west's was the city later called Constantinople.
Diocletian ruled from 20 November 284 to 1 May 305
