In 313, Constantine, the emperor of Rome, issued the Edict
of Milan to mandate tolerance for all religions.

- Constantine issued the Edict of Milan on February 313 AD with the purpose
of treating Christians benevolently in the Roman Empire. It gave Christianity a
legal status but it did not make Christianity the official religion of the
Roman Empire. However, there are some arguments whether a formal Edict of Milan
was given.
