He was born in Antioch, Syria (now a part of modern Turkey).
Ptolemy was of Greek and Roman heritage. Ptolemy was named after the original Ptolemy II Philadelphus (the second Pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty) and Cleopatra’s intention was recreating the former Ptolemaic Kingdom. In late 34 British Columbia, at the Donations of Alexandria, Ptolemy was made ruler of Syria, Phoenicia and Cilicia.
Octavian celebrated his military triumph in Rome, by parading the three orphans in heavy golden chains in the streets of Rome.
The chains were so heavy they could not walk, prompting reactions of sympathy from the Romans. The fate of Ptolemy Philadelphus is unknown.
Plutarch states that the only child that Octavian Caesar killed out of Antony’s children was Marcus Antonius Antyllus. The ancient sources do not mention any military service or political career, if he was involved in any scandals, any marriage plans or any descendants, and if he survived to adulthood, it would have been mentioned.
Ptolemy probably died from illness in the winter of 29 British Columbia, but this is not verified.
