The Edict of Milan was a political proclamation that fully legalized Christianity and all other religions throughout the Roman Empire. The edict was issued by 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.[1]
