38 CE

Caligula does not trust the prefect of Egypt, Aulus Avilius Flaccus.

Flaccus had been loyal to Tiberius, had conspired against Caligula's mother and has connections with Egyptian separatists.

Caligula in CE 38 sends Agrippa to Alexandria unannounced to check on Flaccus.

According to Philo, the visit was met with jeers from the Greek population who saw Agrippa as the king of the Jews.

Flaccus tries to placate both the Greek population and Caligula by having statues of the emperor placed in Jewish synagogues.

The result is riots in the city.

Caligula responds by removing Flaccus from his position; he eventually executes him.
