Caesarion was born in Egypt in 47 BC. His mother insisted that he was
the son of the Roman dictator Julius Caesar. Caesarion was said to
have inherited Caesar's looks and manner, but Caesar apparently did
not officially acknowledge him. Nevertheless he may have allowed him
to use his name.[1] The matter became contentious when Caesar's
adopted son Octavian came into conflict with Cleopatra. His supporter
Gaius Oppius wrote a pamphlet which attempted to prove that Caesar
could not have fathered Caesarion. Cleopatra also compared her
relationship to her son with the Egyptian goddess Isis and her
miraculous child Horus.[1]
Caesarion spent two of his early years, from 46 to 44 BC, in Rome,
where he and his mother were Caesar's guests. Cleopatra hoped that her
son would eventually succeed his father as the head of the Roman
Republic as well as Egypt. After Caesar's assassination on March 15,
44 BC, Cleopatra and Caesarion returned to Egypt. Caesarion was named
co-ruler by his mother on September 2, 44 BC at the age of three,
although he was King in name only, with Cleopatra keeping actual
authority all to herself.
During the tense period of time leading up to the final conflict
between Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) and Octavian (future Emperor
Augustus), Antony shared control of the Republic in a triumvirate with
Octavian and Lepidus, but Lepidus was forced into retirement by
Octavian in 36BC, leaving Antony and Octavian as rivals. Two years
later, in 34BC, Antony granted various eastern lands and titles to
Caesarion and to his own three children with Cleopatra. Caesarion was
proclaimed a god, son of god[disputed – discuss] and "King of Kings".
This grandiose title was "unprecedented in the management of Roman
client-king relationships" and could be seen as "threatening the
'greatness' of the Roman people".[2] Most threatening to Octavian
(whose claim to power was based on his status as Julius Caesar's
grandnephew and adopted son), Antony declared Caesarion to be Caesar's
true son and heir. These proclamations, known as the Donations of
Alexandria, caused a fatal breach in Antony's relations with Octavian,
who used Roman resentment over the Donations to gain support for war
against Antony and Cleopatra.[3]
After the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium,
Cleopatra seems to have groomed Caesarion to take over as "sole ruler
without his mother."[1] She may have intended to go into exile,
perhaps with Antony, who was hoping he would be allowed to retire, as
Lepidus had. When Octavian invaded Egypt in 30 BC, Cleopatra sent
Caesarion, at the time 17 years old, to the Red Sea port of Berenice
for safety, with possible plans of an escape to India. Octavian
captured the city of Alexandria on August 1, 30 BC, the date that
marks the official annexation of Egypt to the Roman Republic. Mark
Antony had committed suicide prior to Octavian's entry into the
capital; Cleopatra followed his example by committing suicide on
August 12, 30 BC. Caesarion's guardians, including his tutor, either
were themselves lured by false promises of mercy into returning the
boy to Alexandria or perhaps even betrayed him; the records are
unclear. Plutarch says that Caesarion had actually escaped to India,
but was falsely promised the kingdom of Egypt,
Caesarion, who was said to be Cleopatra's son by Julius Caesar, was
sent by his mother, with much treasure, into India, by way of
Ethiopia. There Rhodon, another tutor like Theodorus, persuaded him to
go back, on the ground that [Octavian] Caesar invited him to take the
kingdom.[4]
Octavian is supposed to have had Caesarion executed in Alexandria,
following the advice of Arius Didymus, who said "Too many Caesars is
not good" (a pun on a line in Homer).[5] The exact circumstances of
his death have not been documented; it is popularly thought that he
was strangled.
Octavian then assumed absolute control of E
