The empire was divided into 4 prefectures under Diocletian. Two were ruled by Augusti, and two were ruled by Caesars. There was one of each in the west, and East. The Augustus was considered the superior, and the Caesar was considered the subordinate

The Prefectures were:

Caesar Constatius (Constantine's father): Britain, Gaul, Spain.
Augustus Maximian: Italy, North Africa.
Augustus Diocletian: Asia Minor, Palestine, Egypt.
Caesar Galerius: Balkans.

As you can see, there was one Caesar, and one Augustus in the West; and it was the same in the east. Though Diocletian was looked on kind of like a patron.
