2. Daughter of P. Antistius [ANTISTIUS, No. 6] and Calpurnia, was married to Pompeius Magnus in B. C. 86, who contracted the connexion that he might obtain a favourable judgment from Antistius, who presided in the court in which Pompeius was to be tried. Antistia was divorced by her husband in B. C. 82 by Sulla's order, who made him marry his step-daughter Aemilia. (Plut. Pomp. 4, 9.)
