Antonia Gordiana (born 201) was a prominent, wealthy, and noble Roman woman who lived in the troubled and unstable 3rd century.
Along with her elder brother, she was raised and spent her childhood in the house that Roman Republican general Pompey had built in Rome.
She bore her husband a son on 20 January 225, the future emperor Marcus Antonius Gordianus Pius, or Gordian III.
During their brief reign, Gordiana's son became popular with Roman citizens and the joint emperors were forced to adopt the child as their heir.
[citation needed] To maintain the goodwill of the Senate, Gordian III assumed the name of his maternal grandfather and uncle.
