How did the Roman Empire change after the Era of the Soldier Emperors.

The roman government turns into a tetrarchy mean four leaders. They did this because they thought no single man could be as good as previous leaders had been.  This worked for a little while but then turned into fights over power within the four emperors . This is a problem because a government will never work if there is infighting.  The roman empire eventually broke into two pieces, Eastern roman empire and Western roman empire. Easter roman empire is also know as  the byzantine empire. That is one of the reasons the age of tetrarchy  lasted only for only a short time.
