1 janv. 395 - Roman Empire divided into East and West

Description:

The Roman Empire was split again in 395 AD upon the death of Theodosius I, Roman Emperor in Constantinople, never again to be made whole. He divided the provinces up into east and west, as it had been under Diocletian’s tetrarchy over a century earlier, between his two sons, Arcadius and Honorius.

The Western Roman Empire had been steadily weakening for years until constant invasions of those territories and increasing pressure from threats such as the Huns, Goths and Vandals.

Constantine had weakened the West during his rule, other than favouring the East in development of infrastructure, but in economic governance too. He raised taxes in the West to bring them up to the level of those in the East to seem fair.
