5. Cn.CorneliusCinnaMagnus, son of No. 3, and therefore grandson of Pompey, whence he received the surname of Magnus. Though he sided with Antony against Octavius, he was preferred to a priesthood by the conqueror, and became consul in A. D. 5. (Senec. de Clem. 1.9; D. C. 55.14. 22.) [H.G.L]

The name of Cinna occurs, in the form of Cina, on asses, semisses, and trientes. A specimen of one is given below: the obverse represents the head of Janus, the reverse the prow of a ship.
