Pope Miltiades, also known as Melchiades the African, was the bishop of Rome from 311 until his death on 10 or 11 January 314. During his pontificate the emperor Constantine the Great issued the Edict of Milan in 313, giving Christianity legal status within the Roman Empire, and Miltiades received the palace of Empress Fausta, the site where the Lateran Palace, the papal seat and residence of the papal administration, would later be built. At the Lateran Council, during the schism with the Church of Carthage, Miltiades condemned the rebaptism of apostatized bishops and priests, a teaching of Donatus Magnus.
