Well, he didn't bump them off in the immediate aftermath of Antony's fall. Cleopatra Selene married a Numidian prince. The boys, Alexander Helios and Ptolemy Philadelphus disappear from the historical record, so we don't know what happened to them, but I personally doubt Augustus had them killed.

#ClassicsTober24 Day 4: Cleopatra Selene. She was one of three children of Mark Antony and Cleopatra of Egypt, all raised after their parents' death by their father's previous wife, Octavia, along with all of Mark Antony's other children, save one, and Octavia's children from her previous marriage.

Marble bust of a woman, who may be Cleopatra Selene, or may be he mother, the famous Cleopatra.

Day 4 of #ClassicsTober24@jldraycott.bsky.social#ClassicsTober *My daughter is getting far too into this.

A young woman wearing a pink dress stands in front of a starry night background. There are three moons, each with a symblo: the crown of Egypt to the left, slave shackles above, and a crocodile to the right. Her name is written along the bottom: Cleopatra Selene (Moon) II.

(40 BCE – c. 5 BCE) Ptolemaic royalty, daughter of Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator and Marcus Antonius (Cleopatra and Marc Antony), twin of Alexander Helios. She was made ruler of Cyrenaica and Libya by her father while still a child, in the Donations of Alexandria in 34BCE. Cleopatra VII possibly expected to marry Cleopatra Selene to her half-brother, Caesarion, the son of her mother and Julius Caesar, whom Marcus Antonius had declared the King of Egypt and True Son of Julius Caesar – snubbing Octavian, whom Julius Caesar had adopted posthumously – and consolidate Roman and Egyptian power in their marriage. Her parents were beaten by Octavian in the Battle of Actium, and then the Battle of Alexandria.
After the suicides of her parents, Cleopatra Selene was brought to Rome with her brother, Alexander Helios, and paraded dressed as the moon and sun, and in chains (probably – other prisoners in similar situations are recorded as being chained), in Octavian’s triumphal parade. They were then raised in the household of Octavia, Octavian’s sister, and Marcus Antonius’ former wife. Cleopatra Selene married Juba II of Numidia in 25BCE. She was thus Queen of Numidia (briefly) until it was once again annexed by Rome, after which Octavian/Augustus conferred on her and her husband the province of Mauretania (25 BCE – 5 BCE), and the kingdom flourished. Cleopatra Selene died at the age of 35, and was placed in the mausoleum she and Juba had built.
