Answer:

· The Aftermath of the Nika Revolt Arrests were ongoing after the revolt, and many families lost everything due to their connection to the rebellion. The Hippodrome was shut down, and races were suspended for five years. But for Justinian, the results of the riots were very much to his advantage.xplanation:

Answer: The Nika Revolt got the name from the partisans chanting out the word "Νika" during race 22. At the beginning, they were chanting out the colors "green" and "blue" then changed it to "Nika" which means to conquer, win or victory. 30,000 people were killed during the revolt.
