In 313 CE, two Roman emperors met in Milan and issued a decree that would change the course of Western history. The Edict of Milan granted Christians freedom to worship openly, restored confiscated property, and ended centuries of sporadic persecution. But what actually happened at that meeting between Constantine and Licinius? How different was the edict from earlier toleration orders like Galerius's edict of 311? And did it really make Christianity the official religion of Rome? In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the politics behind the famous edict, the role of Lactantius and Eusebius in shaping our understanding of it, and how the document survives today only in a letter from Licinius to provincial governors. They explore the power struggle between the two emperors, the Battle of the Milvian Bridge that preceded it, and the careful wording that stopped short of establishing a state church. This is the nuanced story of a turning point that was more pragmatic than pious. #EdictOfMilan #Constantine #Licinius #RomanEmpire #Christianity #Lactantius #Eusebius #MilvianBridge #Galerius #Nicomedia #Tetrarchy #Persecution #LateAntiquity #ChurchHistory #FreedomOfWorship #History #FexingoHistory #ReligionAndEmpire Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
