Antonia Minor Augusta 'The Younger'.
--------------------
When her son Claudius became emperor in AD41, he posthumously gave his mother the title 'Augusta', a title previously only given to Emperor Augustus' wife Livia. Antonia had rejected the title while still alive.
She supposedly murdered her only daughter Claudia Livia Julia 'Livilla' (13 BC–AD31) by imprisoning her in a room and starving her to death for being involved in an attempted plot to overthrow the throne. Livilla, together with Praetorian Guard prefect Sejanus, conspired to murder Emperor Tiberius Caesar Augustus (42 BC–AD37), Antonia's brother-in-law, and also his successor, Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus 'Caligula' (AD12–AD41), Antonia's grandson.
Antonia is said to have committed suicide in AD37, outraged that Caligula had ordered his cousin and adopted son, Tiberius Gemellus, to be executed.
It has also been hinted by Roman historian Suetonius that Caligula himself may have poisoned her.
