Emporer Constantine
Constantine gave more rights to Christians and allowed them to hold offices which was not allowed before.
Freedom of religion always existed in the Roman Empire. The Romans respected and tolerate the religions and customs of the conquered peoples and even allowed them to use their customary laws at the local level. There were changes of policies with regard to Christianity from toleration to persecution and viceversa. However, Christianity was never actually banned. The end of the Great Persecution of Christians was decreed by the emperor Galerius in his Edict of Toleration of 311. Constantine the Great completed the termination of the persecution after he signed the Edict of Milan in 313 with co-emperor Licinius. Constantine confronted the last remnants persecution.
A:The Edict of tolerance issued by Emperor Galerius in 311 CE was certainly intended primarily for the benefit of Christianity, which had recently suffered under the 'Great Persecution'. However, it was also intended to benefit all religions, including Mithraism and Gnostic Christianity. Constantine reinterpreted this freedom such as to exclude these religions, as well as beginning to remove the ancient toleration of Judaism.
What Constantine reaffirmed the toleration of Christianity (in the Edict of Milan which he signed with his co-emperor Licinius) which had been decreed two earlier by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor Galerius) and completed the end of the great Persecution of Christians. The Edict of Milan also provided for the restitution of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution and compensation for those who returned it. Christians were free to worship their god.

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 the Great did not legalise Christianity. Christianity was persecuted, but it was not made illegal. Constantine finalised the end of the Great Persecution which had been decreed by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius in 311. The Edict of Milan on 313 which Constantine signed together with Licinius, his co-emperor, reiterated the toleration of Christianity and provided for compensation by the state for those who returned Christian property which had been confiscated and sold during the Great Persecution. This edict was aimed at the governors of the provinces in the eastern part of the empire because a junior emperor in charge of Turkey Syria and Egypt ignored Galerius' edict and continued the persecution.
· The construction of the old Basilica of St Peter's was begun by Constantine the Great between 319 and 333. · Christianity was not actually legalised. It was not given a legal status until 380 in the Edict of Thesalonica by co-emperors Gratian, Theodosius I and Valenitinian II. · Constantine was not the first emperor to decree the toleration of Christianity. The first emperor to do this was Galerius in the Edict of Toleration by Galerius of 311. In this he granted toleration, which meant that the Christians were given freedom to worship and the right to live safely (i.e., not to be persecuted). · Co-emperors Constantine the Great and Licinius issued the Edict of Milan in 313. This reiterated the toleration of Christianity and extended it to all religions. · The old Basilica of St Peter's no longer exists. It decayed due to neglect. The stones of its ruins were used to build the new Basilica of St Peter's in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
