Which Roman Emperor accepted Christianity and ended the persecution of christians?

The answer is probably too complex for a quick "WikiAnswer." Here's a brief summary. Various (non-Christian) commentators describe with fair believability the conditions in the Empire under various emperors. Starting with Nero (54-68 C.E.), most did not persecute Christians specifically, but rather targeted all groups that were seen as subversive. Christians were certainly part of that, but most emperors did not specifically seek out Christians. By the time of Diocletian (284-305) the imperial attitude towards groups like the Christians was quite mellow. Diocletian, however, had a personal problem with Christians, and under his reign there was a final Great Persecution. Just how many died isn't clear, and estimates range from maybe 2,000 (Origen) to over 100,000. Diocletian's 21 year reign ended with a confused welter of successors who ruled each for a few months at most, followed by Constantine the Great who became emperor in 306. In 311 his co-emperor Galerius stopped imperial persecution of Christians. A year or so later Constantine declared himself Christian and issued the Edict of Milan, which not only declared toleration for Christians, but reversed all judgments against Christians for their religion, including returning confiscated property. As the first Christian emperor of Rome, Constantine was also the first Christian emperor to go to war against other Christians over a difference in beliefs.
