The failure of historicity here is amazing.
First, Constantine did not establish a state religion in Rome, Theodosius did seventy years later.
With your first being that far off, I did not bother with your second.
Check your timing against these laws.
Constantine’s laws against free thought and why Christianity became the Western religion.
Here is some history. It's a list of Roman laws starting around Constantine’s time and extending forward from there.
I'll bold and underline the killers for those with limited time.

Certain catholic clerics are being harassed by heretics so that compulsory public services are too much for them to bear. They should be relieved of their civic duties, and replacements found, and in the future, clerics should not be forced to fulfill compulsory public services.
318CE June 23
Constantine gives Christians the right to take their cases before an ecclesiastical court rather than a secular court. The ruling of those bishops will carry the same authority as a secular court.
325CE
Constantine exhorts the Alexandrians to follow the Nicene faith, which he praises, and to disavow Arius, whom he condemns. The council is to be regarded as the will of God.
326CE Sept 1
Exemption from compulsory public services shall only be granted to clergy of the Catholic Church, and not to heretics or schismatics.
327CE
Constantine invites Arius to his court, where he may end his exile by confessing the Nicene faith before Constantine. Arius is allowed to use public transportation.
333 or 327CE
Constantine orders that Arians now be referred to as Porphyrians, that all works of Arius or Arians be burned, and that anyone hiding a work of Arius suffer capital punishment.
Constantine sends a long, belittling letter to Arius and his followers. At the end, he threatens to heavily fine the Arians and force them to accept compulsory public services unless they immediately return to the catholic faith. If Arius returns, he promises to be lenient.
341CE
Pagan superstition and sacrifices are completely forbidden, in accord with the law set forth by Constantine.

The property of a violator will be given to the state treasury. Governors who fail to carry out this
punishment will be punished.
347CE
The Donatists were ordered to be reconciled with the Catholic Church in North Africa. Those who refused were to be exiled or killed.

356 Feb 20
Those guilty of idolatry or pagan sacrifices must suffer capital punishment.
362
Julian castigates the pagan Alexandrians, who had murdered Athanasius’ rival archbishop George when he ruined the temple of the local god Serapis. They should not have broken the law, but should have taken out their grievances legally.
No Christians are allowed to teach the pagan classics (essentially debarring them from being teachers).
Any student may study them, however.
370CE Feb 17
Laws formerly enacted against Christians under Julian shall have no validity, and policies of the late Constantius are to be upheld.

379 Aug 3
All heresies are forbidden. One may hold to heretical teachings in his own mind but is forbidden to teach them to others, especially the teaching of re-baptism. Assemblies of those who hold to
re-baptism are forbidden, and none may teach this doctrine.
380CE Feb 28
This edict is sometimes referred to as “Cunctos Populos.” Everyone in the empire shall be part of the religion that believes in God as a single Deity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit – the Holy Trinity, as taught by St. Peter to the Romans, and now taught by Damasus of Rome and Peter of Alexandria. Only those following this rule shall be called “Catholic Christians.”
Meeting places of those who follow another religion (including heretics of a Christian variety) shall not be given the status of churches, and such people may be subject to both divine and earthly retribution.
381 Jan 10
Heretics shall have no place of meeting. Heretics are defined as those who do not observe the Nicene faith.
The Phontinians, Arians, Eunomians and others are specified, but not exclusively. Their teachings are forbidden.
A definition of the Trinity and the term ousia is established. Catholic churches throughout the empire are to be returned to orthodox bishops. Heretics are to be driven out of the churches and the cities.
The property rights of Manichaeans are revoked, and property inherited from a Manichaean which should have been confiscated by the state is now to be confiscated. Manichaeans are forbidden to gather.
381 May
Christians who have converted to paganism shall not be allowed to make a will, and any will made by such a person is invalidated.
Manichaeans may not inherit property or leave it to others through wills, and any property inherited from a Manichaean is to be confiscated. The only exception is the child of a Manichaean who converts to the Catholic faith. Also, Manichaean assemblies and sacraments are prohibited.
381 July
It is forbidden for Arians, Eunomians, or followers of Aetius to build churches.
If any such churches are built, they will be confiscated.
391CE
Persons with inherited rank or status who abandon Christianity shall lose their position and be branded with infamy.
Heretics are to be driven from cities, villages, and communities. They are not able to hold public meetings or secret gatherings.
so on and so forth... the jackboot is in.
