<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 6447121, member: 86498"]Antonia Minor Ae Dupondius Minted by Claudius 41-42 AD Obv Bust right draped hair in long plait behind head. Rv. Claudius veiled and togate standing left. RIC 92 14.26 grms 28 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1256272[/ATTACH]It is interesting that while the provincial coinage readily adopted images of the Imperial women on coinage the mint of Rome was much less inclined. Antonia Minor would be important to the Emperor Claudius as she does link him to the family of Augustus through his elder sister Octavia. It should be note that both his wives Messalina and Agrippina Junior had a closer link to Augustus than he.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
