This Day in Ancient History
On this day in 303 AD, as the dust settled from the destruction by Roman soldiers of the Chapel at Nicomedia (an important Christian center of worship) the day before, Emperor Diocletain puts the last Empire wide persecution of Christians into high gear.
Let's hope the destruction of Samarra's Askariya shrine this week is not the start of a Muslim self persecution.
