Diocletian was born and spent most of his life
outside of Rome. What does this indicate about the importance of
Rome in the empire?

Diocletian was a Roman emperor in the third century. This was a period where the Roman Empire was spread out on three continents. Because of the sheer size of the empire, it was not centralized as it was i the past, but instead it was decentralized. The decentralization can best be seen that there were two centers of power, Rome and Constantinople, but also there were smaller divisions in both the eastern and western part of the empire.

Rome itself was on a decline, gradually losing its importance and supreme power.
Constantinople on the other hand, was the rising center of power, so the power was switching from the west to the east.
