#historyonleo #onthisday On February 23rd 303 Roman emperor Diocleatian orders destruction of Christian church in Nicomedia, starting Diocleatian Persecution, eight year campaign aimed to erradicate Christanity, which Diocletian saw as danger for Roman Empire. His successor Constantine, however, would not only see Christians as political allies but Christianity as a basis for revitalising and reorganising the Empire, which led to Edict of Milan in 313.
