Not very well is how Christians were treated prior to the Edict of Milan.
Specifically, the edict (Edictum Mediolanense) was issued in A.D. 313. Previous to its issuance, there were attempts to prevent Christians from becoming a politico- and socio-economic force within Europe. Their properties were confiscated until the Edict of Milan stopped the practice.
The Edict of Milan, issued in 313 AD by Emperor Constantine and Licinius, granted religious tolerance throughout the Roman Empire and specifically legalized Christianity. It made it illegal to persecute Christians for their faith, thereby ending the prior practice of religious discrimination and allowing Christians to worship openly without fear of punishment. This edict marked a significant turning point in the history of Christianity, leading to its eventual establishment as the dominant religion in the empire.
The crucifixion of Jesus was about 300 years prior to Constantine.
Rome officially adopted Christianity as the state religion under Emperor Theodosius I in 380 AD through the Edict of Thessalonica. However, the process of Christianization had been ongoing in the Roman Empire for centuries prior, with Emperor Constantine legalizing Christianity in 313 AD through the Edict of Milan. This gradual acceptance and eventual adoption of Christianity marked a significant shift in Roman religious policy and had lasting impacts on the empire's culture and society.

Jews and Christians were considered the People of the Book because they had received prior revelations from God.
That he does not have the authority, that the law already is broken and that the perpetrator is in his own household are the ironies that underlie the scene in which Creon delivers his edict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon acts as though he can issue the non-burial edict. But the below ground burial guarantee for all Thebans falls under divine decision making. He also indicates that his public introduction of the law intends to discourage its violation. But the edict already is violated since Princess Antigone has prior, inside knowledge of its existence. Additionally, Creon references opposition to him and his rule from within Thebes. But the opposition to him and his edict starts from within his very household.
