I witnessed Cinna the poets death with my own two eyes on The Ides of March. There was an angry mob of Romans marching around looking for the people responsible for the assassination when they came across the poet with the name Cinna; Cinna also being one of the assassins' name. They talked for a while and then the mob randomly had a burst of violence against Cinna thinking he was one of the conspirators. When Cinna told mob that he was Cinna the poet and he was going to mourn Caesar's death they continued to beat on him saying that he should die because he isn't a good poet and he has the same name as the conspirator. This is not fair nor is it right what they did to Cinna, killing him because he happens to have the same name as someone who helped in the assassination. The mob just walked away after they killed him.
