Where does this name come from? The Augustan History calls her Maecia Faustina, so we have a source for that, but who calls her "Antonia Gordiana"? Is it a contemporary name? Or one that more recent scholars came up with to indicate her? If no source can be found for "Anontia Gordiana", IMHO it would be less surprising to both experts & end users to use the name the Augustan History uses, even if experts suspect it is invented; it's the least worst of our available options. -- llywrch (talk) 03:00, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
