Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

He was named Diocles when he was born in the Roman province of Dalmatia; his full name was Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus. He became sole ruler in 285 C.E., and his secular reforms brought a measure of stability to the Roman Empire. Diocletian divided the empire administratively into a tetrarchy, or four-ruler system.
