Eusubius was a Roman historian who would become a Christian bishop in 314 CE.
This was the nineteenth year of the reign of Emperor
Diocletian ... and royal edicts were published everywhere, commanding that the churches should be razed to the ground, the Scriptures destroyed by fire... if they persisted in the Christian profession, be deprived of their liberty. And such was the first decree against us. But issuing other decrees not long after, the Emperor commanded that all the rulers of the churches in every place should be first put in prison and afterwards compelled by every device to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods.
