Cypros (fl. 1st century CE) was a member of the Herodian dynasty.[1] She was a daughter of Herod the Great, born to one of his wives, Mariamne I.[2] Mariamne I also bore another daughter, Cypros' sister, named Salampsio.[1]
Cypros married Antipater IV, her first cousin (he was the son of Herod the Great's sister, Salome I).[3][4] She gave birth to a daughter, also named Cypros, who eventually married Alexas Selcias.[2]
