Talk:Lucius Antonius (grandson of Mark Antony)

Creticus?
I removed Creticus added (recently) as if it were this gentleman's family name. Though see Marcus Antonius Creticus. -- Kendrick7 20:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

What is the truth?
About Sejanus:

The remaining children of Sejanus, Capito Aelianus and Junilla were executed in December of that year.[2][55] According to ancient historians, because there was no precedent for the capital punishment of a virgin, Junilla was raped before her execution, with the rope around her neck.[51][55] Their bodies were likewise thrown down the Gemonian stairs.......

About Lucius Antonius (grandson of Mark Antony):

''Lucius married in his later life to Junilla. Junilla was the daughter of the Praetorian Prefect Sejanus. Together they had a son and a daughter. Their son, Marcus Antonius Primus, was born in 32, and their daughter Antonia Postuma was born posthumously in 34..... ''

What is the truth, what is historical fact? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.2.88.252 (talk) 12:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)


 * According to SIMON HORNBLOWER and TONY SPAWFORTH. "Sejanus." Who's Who in the Classical World. 2000., > Sejanus was arrested, the guard having been transferred to Macro, ‘tried’ in the senate, and executed; the punishment of Livilla and of adherents, real or alleged, followed; even his youngest children were killed. <
 * So if she was an adult and/or married, she was probably considered exempt and no "example" would have been made of her, as she was no longer part of his home-family HammerFilmFan (talk) 22:01, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Good question. She was either executed or not. Possibly there were two Junilla's. The only thing we can do is compare the sources and judge which one seems more reliable. If I look at Google Books the overwhelming evidence is that she was executed. She was also young (about 10) when she was raped and executed. The chance that she was married at 10 and gave birth at 11 or maybe 12 doesn't seem to me very likely. Best regards 82.204.105.103 (talk) 22:53, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The change in question was done in 2009. see here. Best regards 82.204.105.103 (talk) 23:31, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It's also very unlikely that she at 12 or 13, having a baby, having recently narrowly escaped execution, poisoned her husband in order to marry a high-profile consul, Galba, who is already married, twenty years older and according to his article apparently homosexual. If no source turns up this statements should be removed. It seems that Junilla, the daughter of Sejanus, was executed at 10 along with the rest of her family.
