Even after the Edict of Milan, didn't the Roman government continue to use government funds (taxes) to support pagan temples and so on? I thought that that government funding of paganism continued until 380-something when Christianity became the official religion of the empire. But I could be mis-remembering. Also, I hope the details I added about the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste aren't too disconnected from the rest of the article. It's a great story with a great icon to go with it. I think the names of at least most of those martyrs are recorded somewhere as well. Wesley 16:58, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)
The Council of Arles was a more immediate consequence of the Milan declaration than the subsequent dynastic struggles developed in the article----Clive Sweeting

I just rewrote some parts, removed Catholic POV and deleted at all the parts relative to Licinius' fate (they should be written in the dedicate entry). They looked a bit like as a pro-Catholic sermon, probably present in some old Cath. encyclopedia having no separate entry for Licinius.
I'm pretty sure a fragmentary copy of the edict survived from somewhere in Egypt. I'll make the change after I source that. Dppowell 23:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Ugh. Surely that should be Mediolanense? (The adjective is of the Third, of two endings).

The last paragraph needs some work. I left it largely as it is, but added some CNs. It may just be a problem of imprecise wording. I hope someone will fix it. JKeck ( talk) 14:44, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
This is a minor issue, but I came across an article in a peer-reviewed journal, where the author of the article argues that Eusebius didn't translate the Edict of Milan himself, but had someone else translate it for him. There's obviously no way of knowing for certain, but Eusebius himself also never expressly claims to have translated the document if you check his text in Greek. Should this be reflected in the text here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joonasvanhala ( talk • contribs) 18:33, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
"The Edict of Milan gave Christianity a legal status, but did not make Christianity the
state church of the Roman Empire; this took place under Emperor
Theodosius I in AD 380 with the
Edict of Thessalonica."
1. Quite relevant information, but the wording makes it seem irrelevant.
2. Mentioning it as a state church before the notion of state church is even coined is weird.--

@ Dhruva Gamerx: Stating that the Edict of Milan made Christianity the state religion is highly deluded WP:CB. And the rest of your edits are value judgments based upon WP:OR.
Name one bona fide history department which teaches that Constantine made Christianity the state religion. WP:CITE a WP:RS for it, and bingo, you win this dispute. tgeorgescu ( talk) 23:51, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
