The Edict of Milan was a document signed by emperors Constantine proclaiming religious toleration in the Roman Empire. The Edict was written in 313 AD, after a reign of Roman Emperors who persecuted Christians in different ways. The Edict was written by Constantine because he felt that all major religions should have the right to worship in the Roman empire, and persecution would not be morally right nor beneficial to the Empire.
