cleopatra

Going back to a previous discussion about https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-cleopatra-allied-differently.491386/ and those stating that Octavian wouldn't consider genuinely allying with Cleopatra in the first place. If I remember correctly according to Genevieve Foster in her...

48 BC - Year 706 Ab urbe condita A young woman, believed to have been carried by two servants, was smuggled inside a palace covered by the same carpets that decorated her royal chamber She's anxious, yes her brother defied the general Yes her brother murdered the roman But that doesnt make her...

Pls answer the follow up questions and like and share what if Ptolemy Caesarion instead of believing Octavian into being lured back to Egypt continues east along with all the Ptolemaic navy in Red sea to India after learning of Golden Chersonese from traders in India restock and continue to...

Had Caesar been warned of the plot, resulting of course in his survival, what would have happened with Cleopatra and Caesarion? Also i assume him finding out about the plot would obviously temporarily delay his attack on Dacia and Parthia Also now i have strayed from the purpose of the thread...

As it says in the title. What would be the fate of Egypt, the Ptolemaic dynasty, Rome, and the rest of history had the last pharaoh been born as a boy? Let's call him Cleopatros, and say that his personality is mostly the same as his IOTL counterpart. Let's also say that he might get into a feud...

What if, for some reason, Cleopatra had allied herself with Octavian instead of Mark Antony?

During the Siege of Alexandria (47 BC), Julius Caesar attempted to seize the island of Pharos and gain control of the royal harbor, but was defeated on land and forced to retreat; during the ride back to the palace, his boat capsized and, being in full armor, Caesar started to sink. IOTL, it was...

As it says on the tin. Cleopatra's certainly the most famous of Ptolemy XII of Egypt's five children. His two sons, Ptolemies XIII (possibly Arsinoe IV's twin brother) and XIV are remembered as little more than Cleopatra's successive husbands. His other two daughters are likewise reduced to the...

A while back when I had nothing to do, my go-to pastime was to read bad historical fanfictions on Wattpad. While most of them had little to do with the era they took place in, I recall reading one based on the life of Cleopatra's children after the Battle of Actium. While some of the events were...

Usually overshadowed by her older sister Cleopatra, Arsinoe briefly got a chance to shine during the Siege of Alexandria, when she killed Achillias and put her tutor Ganymedes in command of the Egyptian army, directly below herself. She proclaimed herself Queen and led the Egyptians to some...

Caesarion was the son (although never acknowledged) of Julius Caesar by Cleopatra, ruler of Egypt. Mark Anthony and Cleopatra commits suicide after the Battle of Actium. Octavian sends out assassin's after Caesarion to remove competition and legitimize his reign. With the help of his tutor...

So here's a question that's been on my head for a while, but what if Mark Antony died/was killed during his failed invasion of Parthia in 36 BC? Obviously Octavian is now the last of the Second Triumvirate's remaining with Lepidus having been forced into an early retirement by this point, but...

I've always been interested in this period of history, and Caesarion has AH potential. But what if he was born a girl? Let's call this alternate child Julia Thea. Would Cleopatra still make her co-ruler? Who would she marry her to? A Greek king or a Roman general? Would Octavian still be...

What-If? Empress Cleopatra: The death of his daughter Julia had brought about a change in Caesar, one where he sought to distance himself from the pain by focusing ever more on his work. This change is enough that he (temporarily) neglects his familial duties and does not remarry, despite the...

When Augustus married Cleopatra Selene to Juba and granted them Numidia and Mauretania, could he have given them Egypt? What if he gave her brother, Alexander Helios, Egypt?

Inspired by this discussion:https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-octavian-or-caesar-restored-the-monarchy.230615/ and Velasco's excellent After Actium TL. One of the problems I've found with the early Roman Empire is the position of Emperor itself: it wasn't a formal office but a...

Hello good people of alternate history gaining inspiration from the 1600 to infinity timeline I wish to start a collaborative timeline all non Asb posts welcome It was a rainy day when a roman spy tried to get out of the pro Antony/Egyptian camp. A camp patrol man walking near the spy's escape...
