The Society of Cincinnati, or Order of Cincinnatus, is a society of friends founded in New-York in 1783 to regroup Continental Army officers who fought in the American Revolution, to perpetuate the memory of it and the friendship born of common dangers. George Washington presided it from 1783 until his death in 1799. It was placed under the auspices of Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus, virtuous Roman patrician who, after saving the Republic plagued by civil war, refused honors and returned to his plow. It was expected that the eldest son of the first titular member replace him at his death. So this hereditary society is now made up of descendants of the original Cincinnati members. The Society is divided in thirteen State Societies, for the first thirteen States, a fourtheenth Society regroups the French officiers (those serving as volunteer in the Continental Army with Lafayette, and those of the French expeditionary force under General Rochambeau and of the Navy under Admiral d’Estaing). The original decoration was designed by Major Pierre L’Enfant (1754–1825) – the town planner of Washington DC – who ordered in January 1784 the first badges to the Parisian goldsmith Nicolas-Jean Francastel. The badge illustrated the life of Cincinnatus, the colors of the ribbon symbolized the Franco-American friendship, blue for America, white for France.Bibliography:– “Cincinnati Fourteen”, Journal of The Society of the Cincinnati, spring 2009, Volume 45, N°2– Bishop, Lee E., Jr, Elliott, J.
