Question

Believing the Roman Empire had grown too large for a single ruler, Diocletian a. withdrew armies from many of its borders, effectively shrinking the empire to a manageable size. b. divided it into four units, each with its own ruler. c. handed over power to the people, giving them control of the military for the first time. d. divided it in half and appointed Zeno as a ruler with equal power.

Answer 1

Divided it into four units, each with its own ruler

Answer 2

The answer is D. Divided it in half and appointed Zeno as a ruler.

Diocletian wanted to rule the Roman Empire alone, but it was too large for him, so he split it in half and gave one half to Zeno, and kept one for himself. Then, the Roman Empire had an Eastern Roman Empire, and a Western Roman Empire.

Hope this helps, and good luck!
