Administrative division of the empire on the death of Theodosius I
node
The empire is divided between Theodosius's sons Arcadius and Honorius. Contemporaries did not understand this as creating two empires - the empire had been administratively partitioned repeatedly since Diocletian, and legislation continued to be issued in both emperors' names. The division becomes permanent only in retrospect, which is a small rehearsal of the same problem 476 raises.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
