This Day in Ancient History
WARNING: Major Rome spoiler for next season, since there will be a second season a full year from now. On this day in 36 BC, Antonia ("Major") is born in Athens, Greece to Marcus Antonius and Octavia. She will live until 25 AD and be the grandmother of an Emperor and an Empress (similar to her sister Antonia Minor, who was the mother of Claudius).
CORRECTION: I have totally messed this up. Antonia Minor, the mother of Claudius, was born on this day. The rest is correct, or so I believe.
