WI:Alternate Tetrarchy?

What If Tetarchy Divided the Empire along the frontiers?

Southern Frontier-Egypt + North Africa Captial: Alexandria

Eastern Frontier - Oriens + Asia Minor Captial: Antioch

Danube Frontier - Balkans + Italy Capital :Sirmium

Rhine Frontier - Gallia + Hispania Capital : Trier

Brittania Frontier - Britian (this part is probably gonna get screwed early bringing the number down to 4 :p) Capital : Eboracum (York)

Probably (or one of the others), because otherwise I'd be called the Pentarchy:p;)....
 
IIRC there was no major threat from the South (nomad raiders, but that didn't require an emperor to deal with) and few troops stationed there.
 
well yes, but it just ties down 3 legions who cant hold the entire province from raids and such.
Those 3 legions would be better deployed along the Rhine
 
Although I always wondered why one of them got the short end of the stick, with the Balcans part (capital Sirmium).
