Thank you both for your responses. That helps out a lot.

[Help Needed: "What does Cn. stand for?"]

Hello,

 

I am writing a research paper and have found this site to be extremely helpful. However, I have one simple (and probably stupid) question.

 

Many of the Roman laws contain "Cn." (such as Lex Manilia de Imperio Cn. Pompeius) What does "Cn." stand for? I assume it is "Consul," but I will have to give a presentation, so I need to be able to pronounce it correctly.

 

Many thanks,

Kevin
