Some emperors tried to restore
|
|
|
|
central authority.
|
|
|
|
– |
Diocletian (284-305) improved
|
|
|
|
administration and tax collecting,
|
|
|
|
and increased controls on the
|
|
|
|
economy.
|
|
|
|
– |
Constantine (312-337) established a
|
|
|
|
second capital at Constantinople and
|
|
|
accepted Christianity.
|
|
|
• |
The measures did not restore
|
|
|
|
vitality to the empire as a whole.
