Rise of Christianity

The Edict of Milan marked a pivotal moment for Christians, granting them the freedom to practice their faith openly, which significantly boosted its growth. Constantine played a crucial role in this transformation, from funding the construction of early churches to addressing theological disputes at the Council of Nicaea. His victory at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge ultimately set the stage for Christianity to evolve from a persecuted minority to the dominant religion of the Roman Empire and beyond.
