Antonia the Younger (Antonia minor), born 31 January 36 B.C., died 1 May 37 A.D., and not to be confused with Antonia the Elder (Antonia major), her older sister.
Antonia was raised by her mother, along with Octavia's children from her previous marriage to Gaius Claudius Marcellus, and, quite remarkably, Marcus Antonius' children from his earlier marriage to Fulvia and his relationship with Cleopatra.
Antonia bore three children, all of whom are individually interesting: Germanicus Julius Caesar (referred to as Germanicus, born 15 or 16 B.C., much-famed and much-adored general), Livia Julia (born 13 B.C. and often referred to as Livilla, scheming adulterer) and Claudius Nero Germanicus (known as Claudius, born 10 B.C., future Emperor).

 Antonia minor (Antonia)
Both Antonia and Drusus could have produced offspring who were potential threats to Octavian's authority; by tying together the two lines, it reduced the number of possible challengers and meant that Octavian was able to keep them closer to him; consequently, they were less likely to oppose him.
From 29 A.D. onwards, Antonia cared for two of her grandchildren born to Germanicus and his wife Vipsania Agrippina, Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus, who was to become better known as the Emperor Caligula and his sister, Julia Drusilla.
This act was a demonstration of Antonia's courage, and maybe something more than that: not only was she risking her life to send the message, but she was incriminating her daughter simultaneously.

Both adults might reasonably be expected to appear on an Augustan monument: Antonia Minor was the daughter of the emperor's sister, Octavia, while her husband Drusus was the younger son of Livia by her first husband.
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.
Among the proposals are Octavia Minor, the sister of Augustus who died in 11 B.C., her stepson Iullus Antonius (who later, in 2 B.C., was executed for adultery with Augustus' daughter Julia), and Julia the young daughter of Agrippa and Julia (fn 19).

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.
