This edict removed any of the penalties that were in place against Christians. It also returned any property that had been confiscated.
There were no Roman laws which ended the persecution of Rome. The Romans, nor anyone else, would not have persecuted themselves. I will assume that you mean the persecution of Christians.There are three known edicts which ended Christian persecutions. The Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Gallienus of 260 decreed the end the Decian persecution which had been started by the emperor Decius in 250. The Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius of 311 decreed the end of the Great Persecution which had been started by the emperor Diocletian in 303. The Edict of Milan of 313 by co-emperors Constantine I and Licinius reiterated the toleration of Christianity and provided for the restitution of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution and compensation by the state for those who returned it.According to the tradition the Edict o Milan was issued when Constantine (emperor of the west) and Licinius (emperor of the east) met in Milan in March 313. However, it is not sure whether this was a formal edict. Some historians also doubt that there was an issuing of an Edict in Milan in March 313. The text of the document has been provided by Lactantius, an advisor of Constantine's, who said that it was published in Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey), the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, in May 313. It was not in the form of a formal edict. It was a letter from Licinius to the governors of the provinces in the Eastern Empire. The letter stated that Constantine and Licinius agreed on the religious policy of its text when they met in Milan as part of a wider discussion on public welfare and security. However, it does not mention of any issuing of an edict in Milan.The letter gave full application of the measures of the Edict by Galerius of 311, included the toleration of all religions, added further provisions and issued precise instructions to the provincial governors. The governors were made responsible for: 1) ensuring the freedom of worship of Christianity and other religions; 2) the immediate return of property used by Christians for congregation and of their churches, which had been confiscated during the persecution, by those who had bought them or received them as a gift without payment; 3) the payment of compensation from the treasury to those who returned Christian property; 4) publishing the text of the decree and bringing it to the knowledge to all; 5) executing these orders efficiently.It is likely that Constantine and Licinius decided to reissue Edict by Galerius of 311, give full application of its measures and additional measures by issuing precise instructions to the provincial governors. The Edict by Galerius had not issued precise instructions besides the ending of the persecution. The aim of the edict was counter Maximinus Daia, a junior emperor who styled himself as a senior emperor and resumed the persecution of Christians in the Asian territories when Galerius died in 311, ignoring his edict.When Galerius died, Licinius and Maximinus partitioned the eastern part of the Roman Empire. The former took the European provinces and the latter took the Asian ones. In 313 Maximinus made an alliance with Maxentius, a usurper emperor who took over Italy in coup. Constantine and Licinius responded by joining forces and met in Milan in March 313 for the wedding between Licinius and the half-sister of Constantine, which was arranged to form an alliance between the two men. This is why it was assumed that the edict was issued in Milan. The next month Maximinus attacked Licinius, who won this civil war when Maximinus died four months later. Therefore, it is likely that the so-called edict of Milan was related to power politics as well as religious policy.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Edict of Milan was issued by the emperor Constantine in 313 giving Christans the legal right to practice their religion.
Constantine the Great and Licinius in A.D. 313.
Which one? There have probably been hundreds over the centuries. If you mean the Edict of Milan, it was the Western Roman Emperor Constantine I and the Eastern Roman Emperor Licinius Augustus. If you mean the Edict of Nantes it was Henry IV.
Constantine I
History shows that most Roman emperors were tolerant of Christianity. It was Galerius who formalised this by proclaiming the Edict of Toleration, overturning the Great Persecution of Diocletian.Constantine subsequently extended privileges to the Christian Church by the Edict of Milan.AnswerThe Roman emperor Galerius issued the Edict of Toleration that brought an end to the Great Persecution instituted by his predecessor, Diocletian. Strangely, it was Galerius who had pressured Diocletian to undertake the persecution of Christians. Constantine subsequently issued a further edict, the Edict of Milan that gave the Christians positive advantages.
Constantine completed the termination of the Great Persecution of Christians and reiterate the freedom to worship which had been decreed by the emperor Galerius in his Edict of Toleration of 311. He did so in the Edict of Milan he issued in 313 with his co-emperor Licinius. The edict established freedom of worship for all religions in the empire.
The edict of Milan is an important event in history, especially christian history, because Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity in the roman empire
Constantine the Great is acknowledged as the Roman Emperor who converted to Christianity which would bring about a cataclysmic shift in the Empire and world history. As part of these Imperial policy changes Constantine is thought (controversial) to have issued the Edict of Milan, which enumerated them officially.
The edict of Milan made it so that all religions were tolerated in the Roman empire.
The Edict of Milan, issued in AD 313 by Roman Emperors Constantine and Licinius, granted religious tolerance to Christians within the Roman Empire. This edict signified a turning point in Roman policy towards Christianity and marked the beginning of official recognition and acceptance of the Christian faith. It allowed Christians to practice their religion openly without fear of persecution, leading to the eventual establishment of Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire under Constantine.
The first emperor to decree that Christianity should be tolerated and that Christians had the right to practice their religion was Galienus in an edict he issued in 311. Co-emperors Constantine I and Licinius agreed, when they met in Milan in 313, to reiterate the Christians' right to profess their religion without prosecution and added a provision for the return the land confiscated from Christians during Diocletian's persecutions and the payment of compensation. This is often called the Edict of Milan, but it is not clear whether a formal edict was actually issued.
The Edict of Milan legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire.
