Document Summary
Diocletian:the empire wasn"t coordinated, and there wasn"t a clear succession. Tetrarchy - 4 emperors working in coordination with each other. The augusti are higher than the caesars, but not different from each other. If one dies, then the succession goes up (if augustus dies, then his caesar moves up into his place) They keep emperors close to where there may be a military crises. There are more, smaller, provinces in the roman empire to discourage people from trying to take control (they start of smaller and it is easier to take them down) A list of things of where the maximum price for it was listed. Required sons to enter the profession of their father. Cities actually were held accountable for their city"s taxes. Being on city council was like being a slave. The state was problematic, more so than ever before in this respect. Son is constantine (307-317) declared augustus in his place, but he wasn"t even a caesar.
