The most prominent member was Lucius Cornelius Cinna . His daughter Cornelia was the wife of Julius Caesar , the dictator; but his son, '''Lucius Cornelius Cinna''', praetor until 44 BC , nevertheless sided with the murderers of Caesar and publicly extolled their action. The hero of Pierre Corneille 's tragedy ''Cinna'' ( 1640 ) was Gnaeus Cornelius Cinna, surnamed Magnus (after his maternal grandfather Pompey), who was magnanimously pardoned by Augustus for conspiring against him.
