The Western Roman Empire was called simply the Roman Empire or Romania by its inhabitants and neighbours. Centered on the capital of Ravenna, it was ruled by emperors in direct succession to the ancient Roman emperors. As the distinction between "Roman Empire" and "Western Roman Empire" is largely a modern convention, it is not possible to assign a date of separation, but an important point is Diocletian's division of Rome's territories in A.D. 285.

abstract
  • The Western Roman Empire was called simply the Roman Empire or Romania by its inhabitants and neighbours. Centered on the capital of Ravenna, it was ruled by emperors in direct succession to the ancient Roman emperors. As the distinction between "Roman Empire" and "Western Roman Empire" is largely a modern convention, it is not possible to assign a date of separation, but an important point is Diocletian's division of Rome's territories in A.D. 285. The Western Roman Empire existed for more than a thousand years (from approximately 312 to 1860). During its existence, the Empire remained one of the most resilient, yet one of the weakest forces in Europe, despite setbacks and territorial losses, especially during the early wars against Germanic tribes. Its character changed during the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period, when the power of the emperor gradually weakened in favour of the German princes, especially under Bohemian influence.
