Lucius Cornelius Cinna
Scribonia was a noblewoman of the highest birth and descended from ancient, distinguished and politically influential families. Her maternal grandparents were Pompeia and Lucius Cornelius Cinna (son of the four-time consul Lucius Cornelius Cinna), while her paternal grandparents were Lucius Scribonius Libo (consul of 34 BC) and his wife (who was a member of the gens Sulpicia, the family who later included the Roman emperor Galba, a descendent on his paternal side). Scribonia’s parents were both direct descendants of Pompeia Magna, the daughter of triumvir Pompey from his third marriage to Mucia Tertia. Lucius Scribonius Libo was a descendant of Pompeia Magna, from her first marriage to the senator Faustus Cornelius Sulla (son of the dictator Sulla), while Cornelia Pompeia Magna was the daughter of Pompeia Magna from her second marriage to suffect consul Lucius Cornelius Cinna.
