Question restatement: What made Christianity legal in the Roman Empire?

Option 1: Edict of Milan
This is the historically accurate choice. The Edict of Milan, issued in 313 CE by Emperor Constantine and Licinius, granted religious tolerance to Christians and others, effectively ending state-sponsored persecution and allowing Christian practices, property, and churches to be legally recognized. It marked a pivotal shift from outlaw status to legal tolerance within the empire.

Option 2: Death of Diocletian
The death of Diocletian did not itself legalize Christianity. Diocletian had initiated the Great Persecution earlier in the early 300s, but his death did not confer legal status to Christians. The false implication here is that his death caused a legal shift, whereas it was the subsequent policy changes under Constantine (e.g., Milan) that changed the legal landscape.

Option 3: The Great Persecution
The Great Persecution (early 300s, under Diocletian) was a period of intensified empire-wide suppression of Christians. It actively suppressed Christian worship and led to confiscation of property and executions. This option is the opposite of what made Christianity legal; it represents oppression rather than legalization.

Option 4: Paul's missionary efforts
Paul’s travels and missionary work were crucial for the spread of Christianity, but they did not legally legalize the religion across the Roman Empire. Legal status came from imperial edicts and policy shifts, not from individual apostolic outreach alone. Therefore, this option fails to explain the legal change in status.
