Message:: [QUOTE="Col Davidson, post: 3049649, member: 73908"]Ptolemy XV Caesar, nicknamed Caesarion (little Caesar) (lived June 23, 47 to August, 30 BC; reigned September 2, 44 BC to August, 30 BC) was the son of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra VII of Egypt and was the last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt. When Cleopatra died he was still Pharaoh and it is thought that he was killed by Octavian. Cleopatra was the actual power behind the throne but Caesarian was a co-ruler. One of their "double eagle" coins is said to denote the co-regency. As to not being Egyptian, Cleopatra was a Ptolemy from the line of Ptolemies in Egypt. The members of this family, although strongly Greek in outlook and lifestyle, had been born and had lived in Egypt since Ptolemy I first came to Egypt before 300BC. 300 years of being born and living in the country makes them, in my opinion, all Egyptians.[/QUOTE]
