But in the third century, a string of military crises required the emperors to spend long periods far to the north or east of Rome. It became increasingly clear that governing from Rome was strategically problematic.
In the late third century, the emperor Diocletian instituted the Tetrarchy, a system whereby four men ruled the Empire as a group.
In apparent recognition of the changing strategic needs of the empire, none based themselves in Rome, but rather in cities closer to the imperial borders and potential trouble spots.
