Sulpicia Dryantilla

Sulpicia Dryantilla ( * ca 210; † after 260) was the wife of the Roman usurper Regalianus in the year 260 AD

Dryantilla has been known only by their coins, in literary sources, they went unmentioned. Nevertheless epigraphic testimonies allow a reconstruction of their belonging to the Reich Elite by the descent of a wealthy and distinguished senatorial family from Lycia, which had wide ramifications across the entire kingdom.

An extensive and complex genealogical inscription on a Heroon in Lycian Oinoanda called Gaius Sulpicius Justus, proconsul of Lycia et Pamphylia in the Severan period, as well as his brother Gaius Sulpicius Pollio, legate of Justus in the province and Arvalbruder. They were the sons of a Claudia Dryantilla and a Sulpicius Pollio, and one of the two men is to be regarded as the father of the well-born about 210 Dryantilla that - will be named after her grandmother - as was so often the case. Dryantillas aunt Sulpicia Agrippina, sister of Justus Sulpicii and Pollio, was married to a consul of the year 193, Quintus Pompeius Falco Sosius.
