 Ptolemy XV Caesarion   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Romans, unlike us, knew very well whether Caesarion was born in 47 or 44, and had he actually been born in April or May 44 no-one would have attempted to propose that Caesar was his father.
According to Dio Cassius 47.31.5, Cleopatra obtained recognition for Caesarion from the triumvirs at about this time, and it was only after Caesar's death that it made sense to promote his position as Caesar's son and implied heir.
While the literary evidence is arguable, it does seem to me to give more support to the view that Caesarion was born in 47 than to the view of Carcopino and Balsdon that he was born in 44.

 Amazon.com: Cleopatra's Heir: Books: Gillian Bradshaw   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Caesarion, who is Greek (like all royalty in Egypt at this time), is intelligent enough to conceal his background, calling himself Arion, but he cannot hide his aristocratic ways or his disdain for a mere Egyptian who treats a king as a commoner.
History says that Caesarion, who was perceived as a threat to Octavius's throne, was killed soon after his mother's suicide in 30 B.C.E. A more gripping story, perhaps, is Bradshaw's version, in which Caesarion, suffering from the sacred illness (epilepsy), is attacked by Roman forces and left for dead.
Caesarion is travelling incognito and intends to go to Alexandria to try to find his mother, Cleopatra, and his half brothers and sisters.
