Sulpicia Dryantilla was the wife of of the usurper Regalianus. Little is known about her other than that she was the daughter of Sulpicius Pollio, an officer and senator under Caracalla, and Claudia Ammiana Dryantilla, a possible descendent of the Lycian senator Claudius Dryantianus. Shortly after her husband’s usurpation, she was given the title of Augusta. She was most likely killed along with her husband following his defeat.
