| − | The Edict of Milan was the famous declaration of freedom of religion within the Roman Empire. The edict was a joint proclamation made by the Western emperor [[Constantine I]] and the Eastern emperor [[Licinius]] in February [[313 AD]]. The edict established religious toleration for [[Christianity]] and freedom of worship for all Christians throughout the Roman Empire. In addition, both emperors ordered that confiscated property such as church property and Scriptures be returned to the Christians.
