He is known for being the husband of [[Antonia Gordiana]], daughter of [[Gordian I]] and sister of [[Gordian II]], and being the father of the [[Roman emperor]] [[Gordian III]]. Or so the ''[[Augustan History|Historia Augusta]]'' claims; modern historians dismiss this identification of the husband of Antonia Gordian and father of the child emperor. {{Citation needed|date=July 2022}}

According to the ''Historia Augusta'', Balbus was the son of Junius Licinius Balbus, a man of consular rank and his wife, Servilia the daughter of the Roman nobles [[Ceionia Plautia]], sister of [[Lucius Verus]], and [[Quintus Servilius Pudens]]. Although Antonia Gordiana married an unnamed Roman Senator, modern historians suspect this connection to the [[Nerva-Antonine dynasty#Antonine dynasty|Antonine dynasty]] to be a [[genealogical]] [[Lie#Fabrication|fabrication]] by the anonymous author of the ''Historia Augusta''.
