The division of the roman empire between east and west was an attempt to solve what problem? a. the difficulty of running such a large territory b. the difficulty of trading sailing vessels traveling from east to west c. a massive grain shortage in egypt d. the growing hatred between eastern and western romans

The best answer is A) The difficulty of running such a large territory.

The Roman Empire was massive and, as is the case with many overextended empires, it was finding it difficult to properly manage and protect the enormous and diverse territories included. The split of the Roman Empire into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire was an attempt to make it easier to manage. 

The correct answer is b. false.
