The edict Edict of Milan is the name given to a joint proclamation made by the Western emperor [[Constantine I ]] and the Eastern emperor [[Licinius ]] in February [[313]]. 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.
