The Roman Prefect of Egypt, Gaius Caecina Tuscus, had failed to deal with the riots.

A much greater violence followed 50 years later, when in 117 CE, the Jews of Alexandria participated in the great disturbances of the Diaspora Revolt, succeeding in destroying much of the Greek city before the Roman Army descended upon the city to quell the revolt.
