No, Constantine slaughtered enough ‘christians’ to get compliance with the survivors. Fear conquers poorly educated and spiritually weak clergy every time.

So Constantine was able to accomplish in a few years what his predecessors could not in 300 years! And he did this under the cover of a Edict of Toleration. Sorry but there is no evidence of such a persecution. You cannot just make up history to fit your preconceived ideas.
