Constantine's Vision of the Cross by Raphael
Retry Correct Incorrect According to National Geographic, Rome’s state persecution of Christians ended with the personal conversion of the emperor Constantine I, who reported seeing a vision of a crucifix in the sky. After he started believing in the Abrahamic God himself, Constantine was instrumental in enacting the Edict of Milan in 313 CE. This edict granted “to the Christians and others full authority to observe that religion which each preferred.”
