Living Descendants of Mark Antony

Mark Antony was a close relative of Julius Caesar (100–44 BC) and a brave general who played an integral part during the Roman Empire’s transition from a republic to a monarchy. Mark Antony is also notorious for his many love affairs and wives, the most famous of which was Queen Cleopatra of Ptolemaic Egypt (69–30 BC). Most of us don’t know, however, that Mark Antony’s second wife was his own first cousin, Antonia Hybrida Minor (died 47 BC). She was the daughter of Mark Antony’s paternal uncle, the consul Gaius Antonius Hybrida.
