Antonius is the ''nomen'' of the ''gens Antonia'', one of the most important families in ancient Rome, with both patrician and plebeian branches. It is also the source of the English personal name ''Anthony'', as well as a number of similar names in various European languages. Marcus Antonius claimed that the ''gens'' was descended from Anton, a son of Heracles. Women of the family were called ''Antonia''. The Antonii produced a number of important generals and politicians, some of whom are listed below. For other persons with this name, see Antonia (gens). *Marcus Antonius (83–30 BC), ally of Caesar, triumvir and afterwards enemy of Augustus.
