Attempts at reform:
Diocletian attempted to save the Roman empire by dividing it into eastern and western regions, with Nicomedia as the capital of the East and Rome as the capital of the West. He established the "tetrarchy", or division of power among four rulers in 293 A.D. The tetrarchy included two primary rulers, each with the title "Augustus", who ruled over the eastern and western empires, and two "Caesars" who served under the Augusti. He imposed economic and class regulations; for example, Diocletian required farmers to stay with their land and workers to stay on the job for the rest of their lives. He did this to prevent people from leaving their work to avoid taxation. Diocletian also imposed wage and price controls to halt inflation.
