It was Emperor Galerius who ended the Great Persecution of 303-311, with his issue of the Edict of Toleration. Constantine went further, issuing the Edict of Milan, which granted privileges to the Christians.
Constantine made it known that those who held ambition of imperial office would further those ambitions by becoming, or appearing to become, Christians. He gave the Christian Church considerable state patronage, allowing its leaders to wear purple and live sumptuous lifestyles. Although Christians were very much in the minority during his lifetime, the Church was given a status above that of the pagan temples.

Who was the last Roman Emperor to support persecution of Christians?
Diocletian launched the Great Persecution of 303-313. It had a number of phases:303-305 Diocletian and Maximian were Augusti (in charge); Galerius and Constantius Chlorus were Caesars (subordinates). All except Contantius Chlorus fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians; Constantius Chlorus participated in a limited way, with destruction of some churches.305-306 Galerius and Constantius Chlorus were Augusti; Maximinus Daia and Flavius Severus were Caesars. All except Constantius Chlorus fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians.306-307 Galerius and Maxentius were Augusti; Maximinus Daia, Constantine and Maxentius were Caesars. All except Constantine fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians.307-311 Galerius, Constantine and Licinius were Augusti; Maximinus Daia was Caesar (there were other complications as well). All except Constantine fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians. Just before he died, Galerius declared that Christians were permitted to return to their religion. This became the policy of the whole.312-313 Maximinus Daia (Augustus from 310) recommenced the persecution of Christians in his realm (Oriens: from the Taurus mountains to Egypt). It came to an end when he was defeated in a civil war by Licinius.In 313, the Roman Empire came under the joint control of Constantine and Licinius. They confirmed Galerius' policy of toleration to Christians. This was contained within the famous Edict of Milan issued by Licinius.Licinius is believed to have recommenced a limited persecution of Christians. This was not like the former occasion, since this attack on Christians can be attributed to political, rather than religious motives. It arose from the situation where the king of Armenia was now an avowed Christian and Constantine was now an avowed Christian, and Licinius and Constantine were rivals for full control of the Empire, and there were troubles on the Armenian frontier.Therefore, technically, Maximinus Daia was the last Roman Emperor to support persecution of Christians.
