Summary:
This podcast is the first in the series 12 Byzantine Rulers by Lars Brownworth.  Diocletian rose to power from within the army.  He set forth unexpected policy concerning succession and sort of cut the Roman Empire in two, thus laying the groundwork for the Byzantine Empire.  This is an enjoyable listen. Mr. Brownsworth is clearly an accomplished speaker with well researched subject matter presented in a dynamic way.
