 It appears in this family tree that the person who was related to Herodes Atticus was Gordian I's mother or grandmother and not his wife.Also according to the Augustan History, the wife of Gordian I was a Roman woman called Fabia Orestilla, born circa 165, whom the Augustan History claims was a descendant of the Emperors Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius through her father Fulvus Antoninus.Modern historians have dismissed this name and her information as false.
