Gnaeus Cornelius Cinna Magnus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gnaeus Cornelius Cinna Magnus was the great-grandson of the famous 1st century BC general and imperator Pompey. Cinna was involved in a conspiracy against emperor Augustus, alongside Aemilia Lepida, the granddaughter of the triumvir Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Both of them were pardoned by Augustus in 4.
