A layman’s reading of the East/West split reminds me of a private equity firm loading up a division with mediocre assets and debt, only to be spun-off to inevitable bankruptcy after a few years.
I wonder if the Eastern empire saw the West as not worth governing/reconquering… or when they split were they more equals?
