February 388 CE

A Christian mob, led by the local bishop and many monks, had looted and burned the synagogue in Callinicum, located on the Euphrates.

Bishop Ambrose of Milan defends the mob’s actions and reprimands Theodosius for ordering Callinicum’s bishop to pay restitution, even though expropriation is illegal under Roman law.

Ambrose offers to burn the synagogue in Milan on his own.
