Mi'nius Cerri'nius
a Campanian, the son of Minia Paculla, was appointed by her one of the two hierophants of the Bacchanalia at Rome in B. C. 186. On the discovery of these orgies [HISPALA FECENIA, HERENNIUS CERRINIUS], Minius was arrested; and, having confessed before the senate the impure and atrocious character of the rites over which he presided, was placed in close custody at Ardea. His final sentence is unknown. (
