Question

describe the crisis that afflicted the Roman empire after the Pax Romana ended. How did the Diocletian try to resolve the crisis?

Answer 1

Rome was very hard to govern being such a huge empire, so for the next 100 years political and economic turmoil brought down the empire. When Diocletian came to power he was determined to resolve this crisis. What he did was split Rome into two parts. One part he took and the other his co-emperor taught. Although this helped temporarily it didn't hold Rome together forever.
