Abstract: As a king ’s daughter, a king ’s wife and the mother of kings, Antonia Tryphaina played a major role in the kinship ties of the ruling circles in the Julio - Claudian period. Although her name did not go unnoticed in scholarly literature , this great-granddaughter of M. Antonius has quite undeservedly been regarded as a historical figure of secondary importance. Besides, her treatments tend to show by numerous inaccuracies and much speculation. The author therefore felt that a new investigation was required , though he unexpectedly found himself involved in a more complex scrutiny than previous studies had let him foresee .
