Agreement of Constantine and Licinius granting freedom of worship and restoring church property.
Wikipedia extract
The Edict of Milan was the 13 February 313 AD agreement to treat Christians benevolently within the Roman Empire and allow religious freedom more broadly. Western Roman Emperor Constantine I and Emperor Licinius, who controlled the Balkans, met in Mediolanum and, among other things, agreed to change policies towards Christians following the edict of toleration issued by Emperor Galerius two years earlier in Serdica.
