Dripetrua

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dripetrua was the queen of Laodice and the daughter of Mithridates VI of Pontus.

She was born with a double row of teeth, with a resulting facial deformity. She stayed at her father's side despite his defeat by Pompey the Great in the Third Mithridatic War of 75 BC to 65 BC.
