The Alexandrian Jews fought to keep their citizenship - or to acquire it; they evaded the payment of the poll-tax - or prevented any attempts to impose it on them; they safeguarded their identity against the Greeks - or against the Egyptians. Avoiding that pattern and building on the historical reconstruction of the experience of the Alexandrian Jewish community under the Ptolemies, this work submits that the riots were the legal and political consequence of an imperial adjudication against the Jews. Most of the Jews lost their residence never to recover it again. The Roman emperor, the Roman prefect of Egypt and the Alexandrian citizenry - all shared responsibilities according to their respective and expected roles.Supplements to the Journal for the study of Judaism ;v. 135.JewsEgyptAlexandriaHistoryTo 1500JewsPersecutionsEgyptAlexandriaHistoryTo 1500JewsLegal status, laws, etcEgyptAlexandriaHistoryTo 1500RiotsEgyptAlexandriaHistoryTo 1500Alexandria (Egypt)HistoryAlexandria (Egypt)Ethnic relationsAlexandria (Egypt)Politics and governmentJewsHistoryJewsPersecutionsHistoryJewsLegal status, laws, etc.HistoryRiotsHistory305.892/4032Gambetti Sandra1577724MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792456903321The Alexandrian riots of 38 C.E. and the persecution of the Jews3856565UNINA
