Cornelia Pompeia Magna

Cornelia Pompeia Magna

Cornelia Pompeia Magna also known as Pompeia Magna Minor ("Minor" Latin for "the younger", born after 47 BC and before 35 BC-?) was the daughter and youngest child to Pompeia Magna and suffect consul Lucius Cornelius Cinna. Cornelia’s maternal grandparents were triumvir Pompey and his third wife Mucia Tertia, while her paternal grandparents were politician an elder Lucius Cornelius Cinna and an unnamed Roman woman. Her full-blooded brother was Gnaeus Cornelius Cinna Magnus; she also had two half-brothers and one half-sister from her mother’s first marriage to senator Faustus Cornelius Sulla. Her mother had died before 35 BC and was raised by her father. She along with her brother were born and raised in Rome.

Very little is known on the life of Cornelia. Before 16, Cornelia had married Lucius Scribonius Libo consul of 16 and like her came from a senatorial family. This nobleman was actually a distant relative to Cornelia. Libo was a descendant of her mother’s first marriage; his paternal grandmother was Cornelia’s elder half-sister. The Roman Emperor Tiberius, who charged Libo in planning a revolt against the emperor, stabbed Libo to death in 16.

Cornelia and Libo had one daughter and only child called Scribonia who married the consul Marcus Licinius Crassus Frugi and had children.
