Diocletian persecuted the christian
The questions
1. How did Diocletian persecute
Christians?
Diocletian's had created the "Edict against the
Christians.” It basically said to destruct all of Christian scriptures and
places of worship across the Empire. Also, Christians weren’t allowed to attend
any sort of worship gathering. Diocletian later created two more edicts. The
first one ordered that any Christians in Nicomedia will be tortured and would be
killed as punishment for arson. The second one said that the bishops and
teachers of the churches throughout the empire should be taken prisoner and
forced by torture to sacrifice to the Roman gods. In 304, a fourth edict made.
It stated that all Christians had to offer sacrifices to the gods or else they’d
be tortured. About 3,000-3,500 Christians were killed during this period of
time.
2. What happened with Constantine and
Christians?
Constantine signed an edict allowing his people to
practice whatever religion they like. He also donated money to the construction
of churches.
3. What is the other thing that Constantine did that has to
do with reconstructing the Roman Empire?
He won the battle of Milvian Bridge, issued the edict of
Milan, and legalized the Christian’s worship.
