Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 01:13 am Cleopatra 's son, if I remember correctly, was renamed Caesarion... Little wonder why people think that Julius Caesar was his father (Cleo was also Caesar's mistress)... Another persOn thought to be Caesar's son is Brutus, one of the conspirator's, whose mother was Caesar's mistress. Report this Post to the Staff
