Question

Why do people say Western and Eastern Roman Empire?

Answer 1

WEST AND EAST :D
ohh I think @Jacobbenvenutty knows what he's talking about, he's going to let us know

Answer 2

Both the eastern and the western part of the Roman Empire were governed by imperial courts. but at no point did Romans consider the Empire split into two, but rather considered it a single state governed by two separate Imperial courts.

The view that the Empire was impossible to govern by one emperor was established after the disastrous civil wars and disintegration of the Crisis of the 3rd century, and instituted in 285 AD.

See as the Roman Republic expanded, it reached a point where the central government in Rome could not effectively rule the distant provinces. So they essentialy split the rulership into two.
