I thought cinncinnatus was a statesman in ancient Rome. I never heard George Washington referred to as Cincinnatus.
A bit off topic, but how many of us know how our hometowns got their names? Where did Chicago come from? Why is Buffalo called Buffalo? That itself would be an interesting historic subject for all of us.
The man,name, and concept are also the origins of the famous statute at Lexington showing the farmer leaving his plow musket in hand to fire the shot heard round the world.

Abroad, Washington was very highly respected and as most people then knew their history, they were aware of the Cinncinnatus character.
He was the man who was so honorable that when given absolute power held it only as long as it was necessary. He then voluntarily relinquished power and returned to his farm and his family.
Washington after his service in the army and as President, left office and returned to civilian life. Among the power mad and warring European heads of state, THIS was nearly incredible! Many had predicted that the United States would not survive once political authority was placed in the hands on one man. They felt Washington would certainly fight to keep the Presidency.
