Marcus Antonius Jr
Sold by Sotheby
son of Marc Antony
executed by Octavian circa 30 BC
Mark Antony Junior was the son of Mark Antony and Fulvia, his first wife. Little is known about this once potential heir of Rome, but that he was executed at Alexandria after his father’s death by the orders of Octavian. The unpopularity of his mother Fulvia, no doubt left little goodwill toward the young man despite the fact that Octavian had at one time been married to his half-sister, Claudia.
