Cippus

or Cipus, Genucius. A Roman praetor, on whose head horns suddenly sprouted as he was leaving the city. The haruspices declared this portent to indicate that if he re-entered Rome he would be made king, to avert which he imposed perpetual exile on himself (Ovid, Met. xv. 565; Val. Max. v. 6, 3).
