Source: myhistoryobsessionHappy 1965th birthday to Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar, King of Kings and King of Egypt! Better known as Caesarion, he was the only son of Julius Caesar by his wife Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, Queen of Kings and Queen of Egypt. At 17 he was murdered by his first cousin once removed/adopted brother Octavian (Caesar Augustus), on the false pretence that he could rule Egypt in his mother’s absense.
I always wondered how history might have changed if that promise was kept.
