Description and Table of Contents
Description
Nikos Kokkinos presents a portrait of the most influential Roman matron of her time - the daughter of Mark Antony and the great-grandmother of Nero. In addition to being pivotal to the political shifts of the Empire, Antonia was strongly involved in many aspects of business life, and thus her career has an important bearing on contemporary perceptions of the position of Roman women. Marshalling many diverse archaeological source materials, the author has produced a book which places Antonia firmly in the social context of her day.
