Scenarios about 'caesarion'
The only known son of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra VII, born in 47 BCE and officially named Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar. As heir to both Roman and Ptolemaic legacies, Caesarion represented a potential dynastic union between Rome and Egypt before his execution by Octavian (later Augustus) in 30 BCE following his parents' deaths. His survival in alternate histories often creates scenarios exploring how Roman-Egyptian relations might have developed under a Caesar-Ptolemaic dynasty.
