With a POD of Augustus's death, have the Roman Empire (either side, or both, doesn't matter) become a second Roman Republic and have said state be successful for a longer period of time than the OTL Western Roman Empire did. By successful I do mean prosperous, efficient and not under severe threat of invasion or civil war.

The Govt does not have to be in any way similar to the original republic.

Bonus points if you pull this off after Dioclation's reforms or during the Byzantine period
