The Ptolemaic dynasty was preserved by the Agency of T.I.M.E. When they intervened to keep Octavian from attacking Egypt, they changed history. Octavian after conquering Egypt (Caesar and Marc Antony tried to unite Rome and Egypt by marriage, Octavian by conquest) Octavian seized Antony and Cleopatra's three children and paraded them in chains through Rome. The citizens of Rome took pity on them but there is no record of them much afterwards so it is unlikely they survived into adulthood.

Because Caesar was killed early he did not found the Roman Empire, so the Republic was probably still in shables when Octavian decided to attack Egypt. So perhaps the children of Antony and Cleopatra go to Rome and turn the tables. Also in history Octavian never threatened to raise Egypt. That was in anger over the death of Caesar. That caused TIME to want to spare Egypt.
