'''Octavia Minor''', or '''Octavia Thurina Minor''', was the sister of [[Octavian]], who went on to become the first emperor of [[Rome]].
As part of a political alliance between Octavian and [[Mark Antony]], she became Antony's wife. His open abandonment of her when he went to live in [[Egypt]] with [[Cleopatra]] and 'married' her, led to an ever growing rift between Octavian and Antony. This led to war between the two and resulted in Octavian becoming the first Roman Emperor as Augustus. Octavia had two daughters with Antony, [[Antonia Major]], who was grandmother to Emperor [[Nero]], and [[Antonia Minor]], who was the mother of [[Claudius]], the fourth Emperor of Rome.
