Cornelius (gens)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornelius (fem. Cornelia) was the nomen of the patrician gens Cornelia, one of the important families of Ancient Rome.

The Scipiones, Dolabellae, Sullae, Lentuli and Cinnae were notable branches of the family. Over 30% of all the consuls of the republican period of ancient Rome were Cornelians. For the women of the Cornelii, see Cornelia.
