[[Image:Antonia Minor.jpg|right|thumb|200px|A marble bust of Antonia Minor]]
 
'''Antonia Minor''' (36 B.C. to 37 A.D.) was the daughter of [[Octavia Minor|Octavia Thurina Minor]], sister of [[Octavian]], and [[Mark Antony]].  Separated from her father at a young age due to his falling out with her mother and Octavian, she was known for her strong Roman virtues and married [[Nero Claudius Drusus]], the stepson of Octavian after he married [[Livia]].  After his untimely death in 9 B.C., she never remarried.  Three of her children reached adulthood:  [[Germanicus]], [[Livilla]], and [[Claudius]].  She lived long enough to find her son Germanicus poisoned, probably by the Emperor [[Tiberius]], and turned in her own daughter for murdering her husband and plotting with [[Sejanus]] to take over the Empire in 31 A.D.  When Livilla was turned over to her, Antonia locked her in a room until she starved to death.
