Christianity was recognised by the Edict of Toleration by Galerius of 311 BC and the edict of Milan of 313. The former edict was issued by emperor Galerius from his deathbed in 311 in his name and that of his co-emperors Constantine I and Licinius in 311. It decreed the indulgence (toleration) of Christianity and that Christians were to live in safety and invited the Christians to pray their god for their safety and that of the state. Co- emperors Constantine I and Licinius issued the Edict of Milan which reiterated the toleration of Christianity and provided the freedom of worship and from molestation for Christianity and all other religions, though the emphasis was more on the Christians. It also decreed the restoration of the property that had been confiscated during the persecution to the Christians and provided compensation by the state to those who had bought it or received it in gift after they returned it.
These edicts aimed at restore stability in the empire as the Great Persecution of Christians unleashed by emperor Diolcetian in 303 had caused widespread unrest around the empire.
