介绍（中）	1783年，曾在乔治·华盛顿将军领导下的大陆军服役的军官成立了辛辛那提协会，主要是为了在独立战争结束后维持个人关系。骑士团的名字取自罗马政治家Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus，他为共和国的利益拿起武器，但在危机过去后欣然放弃权力，重返农业协会设计了一个"其成员应为人所知"的命令，其中包括辛辛那提的雕像： "三位参议员向他赠送了一把剑和其他军旗；背景是一块田地，他的妻子站在他们小屋的门口，旁边是一把犁和畜牧器具。总的来说，这是一个圆形的‘Omnia Reliquit Servare Rempublicam’。在背面，太阳升起，一座大门敞开的城市，船只进入港口，Cincinnatus为Fame加冕，花环上写着‘Virtutis Praemium'。下面，双手合十，支撑着一颗刻有"Esta Perpetua"格言的心。总的来说，"公元1783年辛辛那托鲁姆学会"。" 设计这一精心制作的徽章的任务交给了皮埃尔·查尔斯·勒恩芬特少校，他将徽章设想为一只悬挂在橡树和月桂叶上的秃鹰胸部和背部的奖章。勒恩芬德随后前往巴黎监督奖章的制作。这是辛辛那提学会最初的奖章之一，是在勒恩芬迪访问F期间制作的兰斯。它由黄金制成，并用彩色珐琅装饰，最初悬挂在一条白色边缘的蓝色缎带上。该奖章是为费城的塞缪尔·尼古拉斯少校制作的，在1935年被大都会博物馆收购之前一直是他的家族后裔。
介绍（英）	In 1783 officers who had served in the Continental Army under General George Washington formed The Society of the Cincinnati, primarily for the purpose of maintaining personal relationships after the end of the Revolutionary War. The order adopted its name from Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus, a Roman statesman who took up arms for the good of the republic, but gladly relinquished power and returned to farming when the crisis had passed. The Society designed an order "by which its members shall be known," which included the figure of Cincinnatus with: "Three senators presenting him with a sword and other military ensigns; on a field in the background his wife standing at the door of their cottage, near it a plough and instruments of husbandry. Round on the whole, ‘Omnia Reliquite Servare Rempublicam’. On the reverse, sun rising, a city with open gates, and vessels entering the port, Fame crowning Cincinnatus with a wreath inscribed ‘Virtutis Praemium’. Below, hands joined, supporting a heart with the motto, ‘Esta Perpetua’. Round the whole, ‘Societas Cincinnatorum Instituta, A.D. 1783’." The commission to design this elaborate insignia was given to Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who envisioned the emblem as a medallion on the breast and back of a bald eagle suspended from oak and laurel leaves. L'Enfant then travelled to Paris to oversee the production of the medals. This is one of the original Society of the Cincinnati medals, fabricated during L'Enfant's visit to France. Crafted of yellow gold and embellished with colored enamels, it would originally have hung from a blue ribbon edged in white. The medal was made for Major Samuel Nicholas of Philadelphia and descended in his family until its acquisition by the Metropolitan Museum in 1935.
