king of See also:Epirus. He studied See also:oratory in See also:Athens, and was regarded as the most eloquent See also:man of his See also:age. He tried to dissuade Pyrrhus from invading See also:Italy, and after the defeat of the See also:Romans at See also:Heraclea (28o u.c.) was sent to See also:Rome to discuss terms of See also:peace. These terms, which are said by See also:Appian (De See also:Rebus Samniticis, so, II) to have included the freedom of the Greeks in Italy and the. restoration to the Bruttians, Apulians and See also:Samnites of all that had been taken from them, were rejected chiefly through the vehement and patriotic speech of the aged Appius See also:Claudius Caecus the See also:censor. The withdrawal of Pyrrhus from Italy was demanded, and Cineas returned to his See also:master with the See also:report that Rome was a See also:temple and its See also:senate an See also:assembly of See also:kings. Two years later Cineas was sent to renew negotiations with Rome on easier terms. The result was a cessation of hostilities, and Cineas crossed over to See also:Sicily, to prepare the ground for Pyrrhus's See also:campaign. Nothing more is heard of him. He is said to have made an See also:epitome of the Tactica of See also:Aeneas, probably referred to by See also:Cicero, who speaks of a Cineas as the author of a See also:treatise De Re Militari.
