Description
The Edict of Milan didn＊t just legalize Christianity; it also established religious tolerance for all faiths for the first time in history.

Controversy between Arians and Catholics may have resulted in building more hospitals and other networks of charitable assistance to the poor.
When Rome fell, not many people at the time noticed.
