Salampsio

Salampsio (Hebrew: שלומציון, Shlomtzion) was the eldest daughter of Herod the Great by his royal Hasmonean wife, Mariamne I.[1][2]

She was married to Phasael, the son of Phasael, Herod's brother (her uncle's son).[3] The marriage resulted in five children: Antipater, Herod, Alexander, Alexandra, and Cypros.[2] Cypros married Herod Agrippa, the son of Aristobulus IV and was the mother of Herod Agrippa II, Berenice, Mariamne, and Drusilla; and Alexandra married Timius of Cyprus.[4]
