Person
Marcus Antonius Antyllus
son and heir of Mark Antony
Marcus Antonius Antyllus (47 BCE – August 23, 30 BCE) is known as Marcus Antonius Minor to distinguish him from his famous father, the Roman Triumvir Marc Antony (Marcus Antonius Major).
He is also called Antyllus, a nickname given to him by his father meaning "the Archer".
Despite his three children by Cleopatra, Marc Antony designates Antyllus as his official heir, a requirement under Roman law and a designation that probably contributes to his execution at age seventeen by Octavian (later the Emperor Augustus).
