By Alexandria pogroms modern scholars refer to the persecution of Jews in 38 CE in Roman Alexandria, Egypt. The sole source is Philo of Alexandria, himself a Jew, who witnessed the riots and afterwards led the Jewish delegation to the Roman emperor Caligula, that requested the reestablishment of legal Jewish residence in Alexandria.
