"Do you know what you've done? Caesarion would have sat on the throne of Rome."
―Cleopatra to Amunet, after the murder of Caesar, 44 BCE.[src]
Caesarion in 44 BCE

Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar (23 June 47 BCE – 13 August 30 BCE), better known as Caesarion (Latin: Little Caesar), was the last Pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt. He was the eldest son of Queen Cleopatra, and the alleged and thus only biological son of Roman Consul Gaius Julius Caesar, after whom he was named.

He was the final member of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt, who reigned jointly with his mother, from 2 September 44 BCE. He held the position of sole ruler between the death of Cleopatra, on 12 August 30 BCE, up to 23 August 30 BCE, the time his death was ordered by Octavian, Caesar's great-nephew and official heir, who would become the Roman emperor Augustus.

It is unknown whether Octavian's order was carried out successfully, but the emperor's young rival subsequently vanished from history.

In 2012, he was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.
