Where was the Edict of Milan issued?

Question

Where was the Edict of Milan issued? I know it was in Milan, but I do not know the exact location, like a church or something. Does anyone know the place?

Answer 1

according to the introduction to the document itself, Constantine and Licinius "fortunately met near Mediolanurn (Milan)" to discuss the public welfare of the empire. it appears that the wording of the edict does not specify an exact location, and that the title "Edict of Milan" was adopted only because this was the closest settlement to the exact location, which remains undisclosed. the fact that the edict would have been issued from a church would seem to be rather unlikely, as the edict itself was responsible for establishing tolerance for the observance of Christianity, which was previously seen as being tyrannical.

below is a link to the document text. i checked a couple of secondary sources on the document, but was unable to find any other info on the exact location the edict was issued. hope this helps!
