'''Drusilla''' (1st century CE) was a member of the [[:Category:Herodians (subject)|Herodian dynasty]], and the wife of the Roman governor [[:Category:Felix (subject)|Felix]].
 
==Overview==
 
Drusilla was born in 38 CE, the daughter of [[:Category:Herod Agrippa (subject)|Herod Agrippa]] and Cyprus, and thus sister to [[:Category:Berenice (subject)|Berenice]], Mariamne, and [[:Category:Herod Agrippa II (subject)|Herod Agrippa II]]. Drusilla was six years old when her father [[:Category:Herod Agrippa (subject)|Herod Agrippa]] died. She had been betrothed to Epiphanes, the first son of King Antiochus IV of Commagene, but the marriage never finalized. When [[:Category:Herod Agrippa II (subject)|Herod Agrippa II]] became tetrarch in around 49/50, he gave her in marriage to Azizus, king of Emesa, who consented to be circumcised, but their marriage was short-lived. Drusilla met the Roman procurator [[:Category:Felix (subject)|Felix]] and married him, although uncircumcised. The couple had a son, named Agrippa, who died with his wife in 79 CE in the eruption of Mount Vesuvio.
