Lucius Cornelius Cinna
Lucius Cornelius Cinna was one of three known children and the only son of the Roman statesman Lucius Cornelius Cinna and presumably his wife Annia. The younger Cinna was probably born around 100 BC, and no later than 95. In 87, his father became consul, won a civil war, and became the dominant figure in Rome until 84, when he died in an army mutiny. During this period, the younger Cinna's sister Cornelia married the future dictator Julius Caesar. In 82, his late father's enemy, Sulla, became dictator, and passed a law debarring the descendants of his opponents, including the younger Cinna, from holding public office.
