<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 4585933, member: 82549&quot;]Thanks for the write up. I did not realize that she was the mother of Claudius. Did Claudius also have a daughter named Antonia? Did he issue coins in her name, too? Looks like I have misidentified this coin on my web site, as it appears to be the same coin as those posted above. (Please excuse the condition; I received this coin in a batch of uncleaned coins many years ago):</p><p><img src="http://feltemp.com/Images/Beginnings/ClaudiaAntonia.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><u><b>Claudia Antonia</b></u></p><p><i>Daughter of Claudius</i></p><p>Bronze Dupondius</p><p>Rome Mint, A.D. 41-50</p><p>Obv: ANTONIA AVGVSTA</p><p>Rev: TI CLAVDIVS CAES AVG P M TR P IMP - Claudius, veiled and togate, holding simpulum, facing left, between S and C</p><p>RIC (Claudius) 92</p><p>26mm, 10.3g.</p><p><i>Claudia Antonia was the daughter of Claudius I and cousin of Caligula.
