Edited text of the "Edict of Milan"

A beautifully rendered 3D model of Constantinople in the year 1200 AD. It is divided into regions of the city and gives you an excellent idea of what the city looked like at street level.

An excellent resource to gain insight into the city of Constantinople before those wicked Turks blew the walls down. You can click on different features to add them as layers to the map. That makes no sense; anyway it's really cool.

Article describing the Edict of Milan. Includes this important note on sourcing: "[The Edict's] terms are known to us only from a rescript issued six months later by Licinius. (This rescript was sent from his capital in Nicomedia-now Izmit in Turkey, just east of the Bosporus-to the governor of the nearby province of Bithynia. The Christian writer Lactantius has preserved its original Latin, while the church historian Eusebius gives it in Greek. ) "
