We do not know exactly who killed Caesarion, but he was killed at Octavian's orders. We also don't know how he was killed. He could have been executed after his capture, or he could have died fighting his attackers. We know he was killed, but by whom and how is one of history's mysteries.

What was the name of Cleopatras favourite library?

Cleopatra

Cleopatra, one of the Ptolemies, loved to go and study in the Alexandrian Library. Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy, had been at war in order to get the crown of Egypt. Julius Caesar heard of the war and ended up getting involved in it helping Cleopatra. Caesar and Cleopatra grew fond of each other and visited the library together almost everyday (Hornblow 50). The people who were on Ptolemy's side of the war ended up destroying most of Alexandria with fire, including the library. Rome's forces joined Cleopatra's troops and helped to stop Ptolemy and his people. Caesar made the people reconstruct whatever was lost, but years of priceless information about Egypt and ancient history went up in flames. The entire library, however, was not destroyed.

After Caesar's assassination, Cleopatra met Mark Antony and fell in love with him. They got married. As a gift to Cleopatra, Antony gave her the library of Pergamum, which was a city not far from Alexandria. Weigall (341) notes that it contained 200,000 roles, not nearly as much as the library of Alexandria had been, but it was still a gift that she loved.

The Destruction

In 272 CE, what remained of the Alexandrian Library was broken apart even more, yet still not completely destroyed, when Lucius Domitius Aurelian, a Roman emperor who ruled from 270-275 CE, burned the Royal Quarter. Finally, in 640 CE, Alexandria was captured by the Arabs. The library was completely destroyed, after having survived for so long.

Importance

The Alexandrian Library played a very important role in history. It contained more information than any other library. It supplied knowledge for the thoughts and studies of Greek and Egyptian life. The information on math, astronomy, mechanics, and medicine helped other people to learn more about these things and expand on the ideas. This library probably contributed to the libraries of today. Its destruction was a great loss. It was one of the greatest libraries ever made.
