The '''Edict of Milan''' was a political proclamation that fully legalized [[Christianity]] and all other [[religion]]s throughout the [[Roman Empire]]. The edict was issued by [[Constantine|Constantine I]] in 313 AD, shortly after the end of the [[Diocletian]] persecutions against Christians. A number of civil and social changes took place as a result of the edict, one example being the return of church property that was confiscated during the Diocletian persecutions.<ref>Ehler, S. Z.
