Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The policies of Diocletian and Constantine were characterized by coercion and the loss of individual freedom, such as the establishment of a system of forced labor and restrictions on freedom of movement and occupation. Although their reforms did bring some economic and military stability to the empire, there was not renewed support from the lower classes as they continued to suffer under the oppressive policies. The civil and military bureaucracies were not destroyed, but rather reorganized to consolidate power under the emperor.
