This bust in the Palazzo Massimo museum in Rome shows Antonia Minor, daughter of Octavia and Mark Anthony. Octavia was sister of Octavian, the future emperor Augustus, which would make him Antonia Minor's uncle. She was apparently identified in part from the fringe of curls on her forehead which appear on her coin portraits.
