Roman Egyptian relief panel from the temple of Cleopatre and Caesarion, 1st cent BC, Coptos. . Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon inv E501. Centre is a depiction of Hathor with Isis on the left and Osiris on the right. Cesarion was possibly the love child of Cleopatre and Julius Caesar. A co-king by age three, Caesarion's solo reign over Egypt lasted mere days before his adoptive brother had him killed. Caesarion bore two other names, as attested by contemporary inscriptions: called a god, he was dubbed “Philometor” and “Philopator,” meaning “mother-loving” or “father-loving.” Both were both traditional nicknames for a Ptolemaic king or queen.
