Licinius was a Roman emperor who ruled from 308 to 324 and shared power with Constantine I, alongside whom he issued the Edict of Milan—a landmark decree that allowed Christians to practice their religion openly in the Roman Empire. He matters historically as a key figure in early Christian toleration and as Constantine's rival, until Constantine defeated and executed him in 324.
