Administration of The Empire
Diocletian separated the civil administrative apparatus and the military administrative apparatus in order to mitigate the risk that future generals might attempt to seize the throne through force, and then he reorganized both of them. While changes were made by subsequent Emperors, the basic structure established by Diolcetian would govern the Empire until its eventual fall in the West during the 5th century.
The government of the Empire was divided (in both civli and military structures) between central and provincial levels. The central government general refers to those civil officials directly associated with the Emperor's court and the highest ranking military officers. The provincial government includes all levels of provincial governors and local military commanders.
