The two emperors who notably allowed and supported Christianity in the Byzantine Empire were Constantine the Great and Theodosius I. Constantine, who reigned from 306 to 337 AD, issued the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, granting religious tolerance to Christians and allowing them to practice their faith openly. Theodosius I, ruling from 379 to 395 AD, took a significant step further by declaring Christianity the official state religion of the Roman Empire and banning pagan practices.
