If one accepts the identification of S-36 as Antonia Minor, then the identification of S-41 as her sister, Antonia Major, becomes plausible though there are significant differences between the two: Antonia Minor is wreathed while Antonia Major is veiled, and the former is a foreground figure while the other stands in the background.
Antonia Major was married to Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, and thus the two foreground children with them are thought to represent Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Domitia (fn 14).
Antonia Major was born in 39 B.C. to Octavia and Mark Antony, and engaged at just two years of age to Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, who was cos.

The female head is that of an important figure in the Julio-Claudian dynasty, probably Antonia Minor, mother of the emperor Claudius and grandmother of Caligula.
The hypothesis that it represents Antonia Augusta, whose face is always sharper, more triangular, and straight-nosed, and often presented wearing a diadem, falls short in our opinion for the following reasons: the slant of the eyes, the slightly aquiline nose with its broad bridge, and the long curly locks at the side of the head.
The head was originally veiled: at the back the lacuna is caused by the loss of the marble filling, the attachment surface is stippled, and the point of insertion of the holding-pin for the adjunct is present.

Though the title suggests that Antonia is the focus of the book, the development from the symbolic opening scene is traced through Jim and Antonia, and a good part of the thematic development is concerned with the possible responses to deprivation and opportunity.
The contrast between Antonia’s pitiful failure and Jim’s growing opportunities is deliberate; so is the trick of letting Jim come back to Antonia little by little, first by stories told of her by townspeople and only later in person.
But at the same time, Antonia personifies a woman content with her life, as mother, because for her it is not a role prescribed by society, but is, instead, a fulfillment of her deepest self.

Ovid Tristia (4.2.11-14) could hint at Antonia, and Ex Ponto (2.2.69-74), where Ovid, in a letter to his friend Messalinus, mentions a 'pious daughter in law', which K says is a possible reference to Antonia.
Although these missed sources are only minor additions to the substantial body of evidence that has already been amassed in favour of Antonia, they are nevertheless useful trifles to the overall picture of Antonia's reputation and standing amongst her peers.
