Alexander Helios (

Cleopatra VII of Egypt and
Mark Antony. Although they were still children, for reasons of state he was married to
Iotapa (b.
43 B.C.), daughter of the king of
Media, in
33 B.C. Alexander was killed when the Romans led by
Octavian invaded Egypt in 30 B.C. and his parents both killed themselves.
