## Resource

The Roman Empire under Diocletian saw sweeping changes that reshaped its core. Provinces were reorganized and multiplied to tighten administrative control. The bureaucracy swelled, with tens of thousands of officials managing the sprawling empire. Peasants were bound to the land they worked, securing a steady flow of taxes and labor. Meanwhile, the military's reach deepened, its influence seeping into daily life. ⁠Donate: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/WZTWCMWCJJYFC⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ProfCPE⁠⁠ Buy Professor Elliott's newest book: ⁠⁠⁠ Pox Romana: The Plague that Shook the Roman World ⁠⁠⁠ .
