The Death of Alexander Helios
There's no reason for Octavian to keep your children alive for a year and then murder the baby before his grand parade. That just doesn't really make logical sense. As far as Alexander Helios is concerned we don't really know. I mean the mention of him in the triumph is the last mention we have of him. So he could have died at any point after that onwardsReally because it's another five years before Cleopatra Selenia is married to Juba. There's no mention of Alexander Helios being married or betrothed to anybody in this time. It's possible probable that he died too of something mundane, some kind of childhood illness.
