What does the Edict of Milan state about Christianity?
Actual words of the edict: "... we might grant to the Christians and others full authority to observe that religion which each preferred; whence any Divinity whatsoever in the seat of the heavens may be propitious and kindly disposed to us and all who are placed under our rule And thus by this wholesome counsel and most upright provision we thought to arrange that no one whatsoever should be denied the opportunity to give his heart to the observance of the Christian religion, of that religion which he should think best for himself, so that the Supreme Deity, to whose worship we freely yield our hearts) may show in all things His usual favor and benevolence. Therefore, your Worship should know that it has pleased us to remove all conditions whatsoever, which were in the rescripts formerly given to you officially, concerning the Christians and now any one of these who wishes to observe Christian religion may do so freely and openly, without molestation. We thought it fit to commend these things most fully to your care that you may know that we have given to those Christians free and unrestricted opportunity of religious worship. When you see that this has been granted to them by us, your Worship will know that we have also conceded to other religions the right of open and free observance of their worship for the sake of the peace of our times, that each one may have the free opportunity to worship as he pleases ; this regulation is made we that we may not seem to detract from any dignity or any religion."

What Roman Emperor stopped the persecutions of the Christians?
History shows that there were three fairly brief periods of official, widespread persecution (249-251, 257 and 303-311), apart from which most Roman emperors were tolerant of Christianity. The last and most important period is called the Great Persecution. Galerius issued the Edict of Toleration, permitting freedom of religion throughout the Roman Empire and thereby ending the Great Persecution of Diocletian. Constantine subsequently extended privileges to the Christian Church by proclaiming the Edict of Milan.

How did vespasian grant stability to Rome?
Vespasian restored stability rather than grant it. Stability is not something you grant. He did so by being final the winner of a power struggle which historians call the year of the four emperors, a brief period of civil war in which four men succeeded each other. Galba was acclaimed as emperor. Six months latee he was assassinated by the Praetorian (imperial) Guard, which disgruntled and which had been bribed by Otho, whom they hailed as emperor. Otho was challenged by Vitellius, the governor of Germania, who three months later defeated and deposed him. The legions stationed in the east, Syria, Judea and Egypt acclaimed Vespasian as emperor. He marched on Rome with the eastern legions. Meanwhile, the legions stationed in Rhaetia and Noricum (roughly Switzerland, Austria and part of southern Germany) also acclaimed him as emperor and invaded Italy. They defeated the forces of Vitellius and then reached Rome. Vitellius was killed and Vespasian was declaring emperor. He remained in power because he had the support of the majority of the legions and no one challenged him militarily.
What was Constantine's policy toward Christianity?
Emperor Constantine noticed the internal discipline of the Christian Church and hoped that by encouraging Christianity he could encourage unity in the empire. Michael Grant (The Emperor Constantine) says that at the very outset, the Donatists and the Arians demolished Constantine's idea that the empire, with Christians in charge, could become a single harmonious unit.In 313, Constantine and Licinius jointly issued the Edict of Milan, building on Galerius' Edict of Toleration but going a good deal further by granting positive advantages and privileges to the Christian community. These benefits were not intended to accrue to Gnostic Christianity, which was treated as an illegal heresy. At the behest of the Bishop of Rome, Constantine soon declared the Donatists illegal, but eventually gave them the right to exist.As sole emperor, Constantine funded the construction of magnificent churches and paid the stipends and expenses of the Christian clergy out of imperial funds, although Christians were only a very small minority of the population. People of ambition soon realised that opportunities for advancement in imperial service were offered to those who became Christians. Emperor Constantine began the long persecution of the pagan temples, which would result in the public worship of the old gods being declared a capital crime by Emperor Theodosius in 391 CE.Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) suggested that Constantine’s conversion of himself and his subjects to Christianity was one of the principal causes of the fall of the western Roman empire, which ceased to exist 139 years after his death. Grant says that the most that can be legitimately said for Gibbon's thesis is that Christianisation may have accelerated the process.
