guy Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Being not religious, I found this video helpful in keeping these three edicts straight in my mind: the Edicts of Serdica, Milan, and Thessalonica: Summary: This is a nice summary from Wikipedia: Quote The Edict of Serdica, also called Edict of Toleration by Galerius, was issued in 311 in Serdica (now Sofia, Bulgaria) by Roman Emperor Galerius. It officially ended the Diocletianic persecution of Christianity in the Eastern Roman Empire The Edict of Milan (Latin: Edictum Mediolanense, Greek: Διάταγμα των Μεδιολάνων, Diatagma tōn Mediolanōn) was long believed to be the February AD 313 agreement to treat Christians benevolently within the Roman Empire. Western Roman Emperor Constantine I and Emperor Licinius, who controlled the Balkans, met in Mediolanum (modern-day Milan) and, among other things, agreed to change policies towards Christians. The Edict of Thessalonica (also known as Cunctos populos), issued on 27 February AD 380 by three reigning Roman Emperors, made Nicene Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire. It condemned other Christian creeds such as Arianism as heresies of madmen, and authorized their persecution. guy also known as gaius https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Serdica https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Milan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Thessalonica Edited October 11, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
