Caesarion

Japanese: カエサリオン(英語表記)Caesarion
Caesarion
47th - 30th
Nickname for Ptolemy XV Caesar. The last king of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt. Reigned 44-30 BC. Eldest son of Cleopatra VII. Although there are many dissenting opinions, it is believed that his father was Caesar. In 44 BC, he ascended to the throne jointly with his mother Cleopatra, and in 34 BC he was called "King of Kings." He was used as a tool in the struggle for legitimacy with Caesar's adopted son and successor Octavian (Augustus), and was killed by Octavian's orders after his mother's death. [Hasegawa Hirotaka]
