Problems in the Empire The Empire was too big to control Germanic warriors (barbarians) continued to attack Roman territories Captured Germanic people moved into the empire – creating their own system of government – thus ignoring Roman laws Army vs. Farmers – Male citizens had to serve in the military leaving fewer people to farm = less food production Taxes were growing higher to help pay for the military Wealth citizen were moving out of the city creating their own estates

Division of the Empire Diocletian – Took power in the late 200’s. Decided that the empire was too big for one person to rule, so he divided it into the Eastern and Western Empires. Eastern: Ruled by Diocletian Western: Appointed Co-Emperor
