Best Answer

Julius Caesar had no son, officially. Cleopatra claimed that her son, Caesarion, was fathered by Julius Caesar, but Caesar never accepted this. All we have is Cleopatra's word on it. He was killed because he was king of Egypt (co-ruler with his mother), never surrendered to the Romans and was caught trying to escape to India with a caravan of loot. If he had made it to India, he could have raised an army and caused all sorts of trouble on the borders, in an effort to recover his kingdom. These are facts that many historians and history books ignore.
