Drusilla (Woman living at the time of the New Testament)
The youngest daughter of Herod Agrippa I.

Josephus says she died in the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, which some historians doubt.

The youngest daughter of Herod Agrippa I, part of the well documented Herodian dynasty known from Josephus and from coins minted under various family members. Felix, the Roman governor of Judea, persuaded her to leave her first husband, the king of Emesa, and marry him instead, and she was sitting beside Felix when Paul spoke to him of righteousness, self-control, and coming judgment (Acts 24:24-25). Josephus reports that she and a son from her marriage to Felix later died in the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, though some historians question whether he has confused her with another Herodian relative.
