Talk:Ptolemy Philadelphus (son of Cleopatra)

Untitled
This page is unfortunately ambiguous, still, with Ptolemy II Philadelphus. Ptolemy II was called in antiquity simply Ptolemy Philadelphus; this is still sometimes used, and was quite common in the nineteenth century.

Half the links to this article are intended for the King of Egypt, and their number will grow; the links to the subject of this article, who is last attested at the age of six, are limited, and can be fixed easily. I therefore propose to move this page to Ptolemy Philadelphus (Cleopatra), and make this a redirect to Ptolemy II Philadelphus.

If this is uncontroversial, I will be bold. If anyone has a preference on the dab phrase, I will probably accept it. I don't see any need to take this to WP:RM unless the move is genuinely controversial. Septentrionalis 19:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)


 * That might be a bit awkward since there are so many Cleopatra's, too. Sure Ptolemey II Philadelphus is the son of a Bernice instead of a Cleopatra, but it still seems a rather strange title to me.  An alternative might be to make this a disambiguation page between the two, but I'd be open to moving Ptolemey II Philadelphus here so long as there's still a clear title for this Ptolemey's article.  &mdash; Laura Scudder | Talk 20:06, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * But Cleopatra is the overwhelmingly primary sense of Cleopatra in English. (I am proposing to leave Ptolemy II Philadelphus where he is, with a disambiguation header to this article; Ptolemy Philadelphus should be a redirect to him, as soon as this article is moved.)

The page states that his fate is unknown, but on the Alexander Helios page it clearly says he died on journey to Rome. This also means that either only his two elder siblings were paraded through Rome by Octavian, or that his inability to walk was not due to the chains, but due to his being dead. --Jesselong (talk) 13:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Birthdate?
There is no reference for the month of his birth. The dates of birth of his mother and siblijngs are also unknown, so unless someone can add a valid ref I am removing it. Tathunen (talk) 03:17, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Ptolomaic Kingdoms
Ptolemaic dynasty was a Macedonian dynasty. The royal family was kept close to preserve the trone in the family. Many marriages were between close relatives thereby casing frequent genetic disorders. Please correct. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB04:61A:F200:61D8:C94C:BE18:14E4 (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
