a Campanian, the son of Minia Paculla, was appointed by her one of the two hierophants of the Bacchanalia at Rome in B. C. 186. On the discovery of these orgies [HISPALA FECENIA, HERENNIUS CERRINIUS], Minius was arrested; and, having confessed before the senate the impure and atrocious character of the rites over which he presided, was placed in close custody at Ardea. His final sentence is unknown. (Liv. 39.13, 17, 19.)
