This Day in Ancient History
On this day in 311 AD, the Edict of Nicomedia was made by the Emperor Galerius, who was dying of cancer at the time. The Edict, the first official recognition of Christians, guaranteed religious freedom and stopped, for a while, the persecution of the Christians which persecution had produced an untold number of martyrs and thousands of saints.
