Dripetrua
Dripetrua (fl. 1st century BC; Latin: Drypetina) was the daughter of Laodice and Mithridates VI of Pontus. She was born with a double row of teeth (Hyperdontia), with a resulting facial deformity. She stayed at her father's side after his defeat by Pompey the Great in the Third Mithridatic War of 75 BC to 65 BC.[1] Her biography appears in Boccaccio's work De mulieribus claris.
