Also, you have accounts of burnings of Christian martyrs from before the edict of Toleration. Yet the persecution was sporadic at best. At worst, they were a group you could go after if your crop failed. Christianity was called superstition then. Shoe was on the other foot later.

Based on what? Rome went Christian as a last attempt at some kind of united empire, yet even Diocletian realized it was too big. Hence the tetrarchy. Also, you had most folks observing it by then so having it in the pantheon made sense. The victory at the milvian Bridge only pushed things along.

As the Romans did to the Christians before the edict of Toleration.
