Latin-speaking West(Italy, Gaul, Britain, and Spain)

He took eastern half for himself and appointed a co-ruler for the West

Constantine took control of the westernpart of the Roman Empire in 312 AD and also took control of the eastern part in 324 AD

United the empire during his reign and moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium(330 AD), changing the name of the city to Constantinople
