Learn more about the niece of the Emperor Augustus, Antonia Minor.  The statue of Antonia in the Museum of Classical Archaeology shows her with an elaborate hairstyle.  The diadem on her head indicates her role as a priestess.

In this activity use useful prompts and a planner to imagine a day in her life.  Draw or write your plan remembering to decorate in Roman style.

Think about:

  • Who helps her get dressed in the morning?
  • What gods might she pray to and when?
  • Who might she visit?
  • What does she teach her children?
  • What important tasks does she have to do?
