Koinon of Thessaly, Rule of Claudius, 25 January 41 - 13 October 54 A.D., Portrait of Livia or Antonia
|Thessaly|, |Koinon| |of| |Thessaly,| |Rule| |of| |Claudius,| |25| |January| |41| |-| |13| |October| |54| |A.D.,| |Portrait| |of| |Livia| |or| |Antonia|, References identify the veiled female as Claudius' grandmother, Livia. The strong chin, however, better fits his mother, Antonia. Antonia had just been posthumously elevated to the role of Augusta by her son Claudius. Other coins naming Antonia Augusta show a similar veiled pose. The strong chin is a feature that she inherited from her lantern jawed father, Marc Antony. Livia, by comparison, was a classic beauty with a normal female chin.
