: Just about any good book on Cleopatra will mention her children
: Helios and Selene. My info on Cleopatra Selene is from Viki
: Leon's "Uppity Women of Ancient Times" which I have yet to catch a
: mistake in.

OK ... I just bought that book in London, but it's being shipped and
it hasn't arrived yet. I'd seen plenty mentions of Cleopatra's twins
by Marc Antony, and a third child after the twins ... but I haven't
seen much verifiable evidence that any of the children survived after
their capture at Cleopatra's death. That was the source of my
"whaaaaaat?" .... the texts that I'd remembered implied none of the
children survived once taken into Roman hands.
