Cornelii was one of the greatest families in Ancient Rome. Their family branches included the Scipiones, Dolabellae, Sullae and Cinnae. For the men of the family were all named Cornelius, the women were Cornelia. The Cornelii Scipiones were the prominent family branch as they were descended from Pompey the Great and related to the imperial family through Augustus' daughter Julia (Whose mother was Scribonia, the great-granddaughter of Pompey the Great).
