Antonia (kidnapped by pirates)

Antonia was a daughter of Marcus Antonius the orator,[1] who was the proconsul for the Roman province of Cilicia.

She was abducted in Italy, during a visit to Misenum (modern Miseno), by the Cilician pirates with whom her father had so often clashed.

[2] Her freedom was obtained only on payment of a large ransom.
