EspañolCINNA
(Redirected from Cornelius Cinna)
'Cinna' was a Roman patrician family of the ''gens'' Cornelia.
The most prominent member was Lucius Cornelius Cinna. His daughter 'Cornelia' was the wife of Julius Caesar, the dictator; but his son, 'Lucius Cornelius Cinna', praetor until 44 BC, nevertheless sided with the murderers of Caesar and publicly extolled their action. According to some sources, including Suetonius, Valerius Maximus, Appian and Dio Cassius, an angry mob then killed a poet and tribune by the same name, Helvius Cinna, having mistaken him for Cornelius.
The hero of Pierre Corneille's tragedy ''Cinna'' (1640) was 'Gnaeus Cornelius Cinna', surnamed Magnus (after his maternal grandfather Pompey), who was magnanimously pardoned by Augustus after conspiring against him.
