Cleopatra ( glory of her father ) Aurelia. ( the golden one )

Born August 15th at the closing of the festival of Nemoralia, five months exactly to the date of her father's assassination. Named by tradition for her mother and Roman grandmother.

The final act of the deified dictator. A living God. Loved by Rome.

All of Rome knew it to be Caesar’s. [..] Cicero may have worried she could derail the succession. She was perfectly positioned to do so.

Who is the favourite child? By ranking the 5 of you.

"Caesarion is the favourite. He has always been the favourite. He remains the favourite. He'll always be the favourite. When he's even older and uglier than he is now with grey hair and wrinkles he'll still be the favourite.

Then it's me. I don't know that for certain but I refuse to be any lower than my birth placement. Then the other three all tied together in an Antonii knot of favourite-ness."

Preferred parent?

A curious cant of her head was the initial response of the Princess. It seemed a foolish inquiry given her circumstances were quite infamously known and yet more obvious would be her answer. "The only one I had?" She offered as if speaking to a simpleton. "My mother, of course."

#&;; answered by the divine #alive or not her answer consistently is her mother. caesar might seek a daddy's girl but she ain't it. she knows who gave her Cerberus #& who would NEVVVVVER;

What do you think of your siblings?

"Caesarion is annoying, as all elder brothers are. Philadelphos is the most adorable little boy in the world - the only good thing from Antony that is for certain. Selene is sweet and Helios is his father duplicated."

Have you ever been to the Temple of Venus your father dedicated to your mother?

"Seen? Yes - many times. Ventured inside? Not for all the wealth of Egypt. I did once push my brother in there when we were children though. Demetria laughed at him and he hated that."

On January 10th, in 49 B.C., Caesar led a legion of his troops across the Rubicon River and into Italy, igniting a civil war against Pompey. Roman Generals were forbidden to bring their troops into Italy, which is why him doing so was considered an act of war.

He is rumoured to have said “Alea iacta est” or “The die is cast”, when he did so, meaning that he had past the point of no return. Since he had done this, Caesar either had to triumph against Pompey or he would have been killed.

The phrase “Crossing the Rubicon” is still used today meaning someone has purposely passed the point of no return.
