What are some interesting possibilities if Cleopatra were to become Octavian’s oover instead of Antony’s? And what are some interesting ways that might happen? And how well could this go for Cleopatra?
It is almost certainly too much to imagine the Principate under a Julio-Ptolemaic dynasty (no way the Senatorial elite would be willing to pretend thats not monarchy), but it would make for a nice stretch goal. Perhaps he has an son by her, and he still has all that bad luck with heirs that he did historically. Or perhaps a daughter that can marry someone close like Agrippa, and their son can be heir?
