Which of Diocletian’s economic changes helped bring short-term order to Rome?
Answers
Diocletian the Emperor of Rome ruled between 284 to 312 CE, and his time is identified for restoring the disintegrating Roman empire from its total failure. He introduced a new currency(coinage) to stabilize the economy of the Roman Empire, but he failed in his trial.
His empire started to make slow growth through his effort of restoring the Payment-in-kind system, most commonly known as the Barter system. He made an attempt to generate long-term growth of the empire by creating hereditary posts of some professions including bakers, farmers, soldiers etc.
His reforms transformed the structure of the Roman imperial Government and provided it with short-term Economic stability.
Diocletian divided the empire into eastern and western regions. Due to this it became possible to manage the empire easily and take care of the Roman administration. He gained control of the Roman Empire and shared the duties of the Emperor. His successor Constantine again reunited the Roman Empire and did not share the duties of the Emperor.
