Lucius Cornelius Cinna

Lucius Cornelius Cinna (died 84 BCE) is a four-time consul of the Roman Republic, serving four consecutive terms from 87 to 84 BCE, and a member of the ancient Roman Cinna family of the Cornelii gens.

Cinna's influence in Rome exacerbates the tensions that exist between Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla.

After the death of Marius, he becomes the leading power in Rome until his own death.

His main impact upon Roman politics is his ability to veil his tyranny and make it appear that he is working under a constitutional government.

His policies also impinge on Julius Caesar, who marries his daughter.
