Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar, nicknamed Caesarion (little Caesar) Greek: Πτολεμαίος ΙΕ' Φιλοπάτωρ Φιλομήτωρ Καίσαρ, Καισαρίων (June 23, 47 BC - August, 30 BC) was the son of Cleopatra VII. He ruled Egypt as a child along with Cleopatra until 30 BC. He was murdered by Octavian, who would later become the Roman emperor Augustus.

Caesarion is probably the son of Julius Caesar. If so, he is the only known son of Caesar.

Caesarion was the last king (pharaoh) of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt.

Who was Cleopatra replaced by on the throne?

For all practical purposes, Cleopatra's death ended the rule of the ancient kings and queens. Octavian/Rome took over Egypt. But the situation gets a little tacky as far as precision is concerned. Cleopatra had made her son, Ptolemy XV (Caesarion) her co-ruler according to law. This was okay during his childhood, but at the time of Cleo's death, Caesarion was a grown man and was actually the king of Egypt. He outlived her, so for a brief time he was the Egyptian ruler. (Just a brief note: Caesarion was 17 years old at the time, but in the ancient world he would have been considered an adult).

No. In the ancient world an operation that we call a caesarion section was a death sentence to the mother. Cleo obviously survived Caesarion's birth to give birth to three other children so she could not have had a caesarion section or anything like it.

Why do you think Julius Caesar named Octavian his legal hier instead of caesarion?

Julius Caesar never recognized the boy called Caesarion as his son. If Caesarion were Caesar's son it would have been political suicide for him to acknowledge him because his mother was a foreigner, and no foreigner could inherit from a Roman. Also it's doubtful that Caesar even knew of Caesarion's existence. No ancient writer mentions Cleopatra having a child with her on her visits to Rome and wily Cleopatra certainly would have used him as a political tool if he were, in fact Caesar's son. Also, the existence of Caesarion, although known in Egypt, was not even known in Rome until after Caesar's death. The paternity of Caesarion raises many questions.
