In historiography, the Late or Later Roman Empire, traditionally covering the period from 284 CE to 641 CE, was a time of significant transformation in Roman governance, society, and religion. Diocletian's reforms, including the establishment of the tetrarchy, aimed to address the vastness of the empire and internal instability.[1] The rise of Christianity, legalized by Constantine in 313 CE, profoundly changed the religious landscape, becoming a central force in Roman life.[2][3] Simultaneously, barbarian invasions, particularly by the Goths and Huns, weakened the Western Roman Empire, which collapsed in 476 CE. In contrast, the Eastern Roman Empire endured, evolving into the Byzantine Empire and laying the foundations for medieval Europe.
