Princess of Emesa (modern Homs, Syria) who lived in the 1st century. Iotapa was the daughter of Princess Drusilla of Mauretania and Syrian King Gaius Julius Sohaemus of Emesa. She was a member of the Royal Family of Emesa. Her brother Gaius Julius Alexio would be a future King of Emesa.
Her paternal grandparents are unknown however; her paternal uncle was the late Emesan King Gaius Julius Azizus. Her maternal grandparents were Queen Julia Urania and King Ptolemy of Mauretania. Julia Urania most probably came from this Royal Family. Ptolemy of Mauretania was the son of African Queen Cleopatra Selene II (daughter of Ptolemaic Greek Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt and Roman Triumvir Mark Antony) and African King Juba II (son of African King Juba I of Numidia). Little is known on her life. Syrian Queen of Palmyra, Zenobia is descended either from her or her brother.
