Miltiades, or  
Melchiades (other forms of the name being Meltiades, Melciades, Milciades, and Miltides) was 
Pope from 
July 10, 
310 to January 10 or 11, 
314. He apppears to have been an African by birth, but of his personal history nothing is known. The Edicts of Toleration of 
Galerius and of 
Constantine and 
Licinius were published during his pontificate, which was also marked by the holding of the 
Lateran Synod[?] in Rome (
313) at which Caecilianus was acquitted of the charges brought against him, and 
Donatus condemned as a heretic.
