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.

What freedom did Romans gain from Emperor Constantine?
The emperors' policy towards Christianity varied between toleration and persecution. There were two recorded and severe persecutions (other references to persecutions are not documented and were mild) the Decian Persecution (250-260) and the Great Persecution, which was started in 303 by the emperor Diocletian. This was ended by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius in 311 The end of the latter persecution was decreed by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius in 311. Galerius returned to toleration of Christianity and guaranteed the Christians freedom of worship and the right to be safe in order to restore political stability in the empire. The persecution had caused great social unrest among the large Christian population round the empire which was threatening its stability. Co-emperors Constantine the Great and Licinus signed the Edict of Milan of 313. It reiterated the toleration of Christianity, extended it to all religions (even though other religions had not been persecuted) and provided for compensation by the state to those who had bought or received Christian property as a gift which had been confiscated during the persecution and returned it to the Christians. The main aim of the edict seems to have been to act as an order for the Maximinus Dia (a junior emperor who governed Syria and Egypt) to stop persecuting the Christians in his province. Maximinus Dia continued the persecution, ignoring Galerius' edict. It is sometimes said that Constantine legalised Christianity and that he ended the persecution of the Christians. Both statements are inaccurate. Christianity was never banned and was never illegal. It was a matter of toleration or persecution. The Edict of Milan was aimed at ending the remnants of the persecution in Syria. The decree that officially ended to Great Persecution was the one issued by Galerius.
