Following an agreement between Roman Emperor Constantin­e I and Licinius, the Eastern Roman Emperor, the Edict establishe­d religious tolerance for Christians within the Roman Empire, as well as all other religions. It proved to be a turning point as Christiani­ty continued to grow in popularity across the Empire, with the Edict ultimately paving the way for Rome to adopt Christiani­ty as its official religion in 380 CE.
