Which group did Cyril expel from Alexandria?

  • Christians

  • Pagans

  • Jews

  • Visigoths

Answer

Jews were the group that Cyril expelled from Alexandria. This expulsion was part of a larger conflict between Cyril and the Jewish community in the city, which was one of the most significant Jewish communities in the Roman Empire at the time. Cyril accused the Jews of a variety of crimes, including violence against Christians, and used his authority as bishop to have them expelled from the city.
