  Phoenix Ancient Art S.A.
The suggestion that this bronze figure is a depiction of Alexander Helios, the eldest son of Marc Antony and Cleopatra, is based primarily on the description of the so-called ‘Donations of Alexandria’ by Plutarch and the participation of Alexander Helios in that ceremony.
In turn, recognizing this figure as Alexander Helios is an exciting and important identification, one that helps fill in the missing pieces surrounding the life, lineage and surviving memory of Antony, Cleopatra and their family.
Alexander Helios was the eldest son of Marc Antony and Cleopatra and the twin to his sister Cleopatra Selene, who were born in ca.

 State of Change
The two youngest, Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene, are scheming to acquire ultimate power, and the eldest, Ptolemy Caesar, does little to stop them, as he has lost all interest in politics since his failed expedition to investigate the loss of trade to the East.
Alexander, meanwhile, requests that his elder brother approve the use of the weapon code-named “Ultimus” in special circumstances, but again Ptolemy refuses, knowing the dreadful consequences of such a weapon.
Alexander eventually realises that he is stirring up public opinion against himself and orders Vitellius to announce that the orders were misunderstood, but by that time the damage has been done.

 Apollo - The Mind-N-Magick Paganpedia
In later times, Apollo became partly confused or equated with Helios, god of the sun, and his sister similarly equated with Selene, god of the moon, particularly in religious contexts.
Apollo was considered to have dominion over disease, beauty, light, healing, colonists, medicine, archery, poetry, prophecy, dance, reason, intellectualism, and shamans, and was the patron defender of herds and flocks.
In the late 2nd century floor mosaic from El Djem, Roman Thysdrus, (illustration, right), he is identifiable as Apollo Helios by his effulgent halo, though now even a god's divine nakedness is concealed by his cloak, a mark of increasing conventions of modesty in the later Empire.

 Cleopatra (Pepys' Diary)
Cleopatra's mother was Cleopatra V of Egypt — who co-ruled Egypt with another daughter, Berenice IV, for a year before her death—yet Cleopatra, borne of the union with Ptolemy XII Auletes, was a direct descendant of Alexander the Great's general, Ptolemy I Soter, son of Arsinoe and Lacus, both of Macedon.
On 25 December 40 BC she gave birth to two children Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene II.
At the Donations of Alexandria in late 34 BC, following Antony's conquest of Armenia, Cleopatra and Caesarion were crowned co-rulers of Egypt and Cyprus; Alexander Helios was crowned ruler of Armenia, Media, and Parthia; Cleopatra Selene II was crowned ruler of Cyrenaica and Libya; and Ptolemy Philadelphus was crowned ruler of Phoenicia, Syria, and Cilicia.

 History of Iran: Seleucid Empire
Even a powerful heir would have found it hard to maintain Alexander's unifying authority, but as things were the kingship was divided between his feeble half-brother Philip III and his posthumous son Alexander IV.
Alexander had left his Greek infantry there, since he did not trust them, but historians also suggest that the Achaemenids used to deport rebellious Greek subjects there.
The dream of reuniting Alexander's empire was long alive among the Hellenistic kings, and the references to him were legion in Hellenistic kingship.

 Egyptian-Iranian Relations Under the Seleucids & Parthians - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)©
It is certain that the speedy surrender of the Persian satrap, the bloodless occupation of Egypt by the Macedonian army, and, above all, Alexander's accession as great king of the Persian empire precluded wide-ranging retribution against the Persian garrisons in Egypt.
Alexander's son (by the Iranian princess Roxane) Alexander IV and half-brother Philip III Arrhidaeus ruled jointly after Alexander's death in 323 B.C.E.; the Egyptian satrapy remained part of the empire under the Macedonian Ptolemy.
In the first century B.C.E. cooperation between the Roman triumvir Mark Antony and the Ptolemaic queen Cleopatra VII culminated in a plan to establish their son Alexander Helios as ruler of Armenia, Media, and the Parthian territories (announced at Alexandria in 34 B.C.E.; cf.

As I mentioned earlier, Alexander III built a number of cities north of the Hindu Kush in Bactria and Sogdiana which after breaking away from the Seleucid dynasty, became the nucleus of a Macedonian civilization that lasted well into the Christian era.

Worst of all, in 34 B.C. Antony made Alexander Helios the king of Armenia, Cleopatra Selene the queen of Cyrenaica and Crete, and Ptolemy Philadelphus the king of Syria.
Caesarion was proclaimed the "King of Kings," and Cleopatra was the "Queen of Kings." Outraged, Octavian convinced the Roman Senate to declare war on Egypt.
