Caesar's son could have become his heir, but Octavian killed him.

The article recounts the historical tale of Ptolemy XV, known as Caesarion, the son of Cleopatra VII and Julius Caesar. Born in 47 BCE, he was considered a potential heir to power in Egypt and Rome. However, after Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE, Cleopatra and Caesarion fled to Egypt. They later allied with Mark Antony against Octavian (later Augustus), who eventually took control of Egypt. Despite being promised leadership, Caesarion was ultimately executed by Octavian, marking the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the beginning of Roman dominance in Egypt.
