Leo does not have the tryst between Cleopatra and Mark Antony on his website,
but it produced three children. All three were captured by Octavian and
taken to Rome and entrusted to the royal household. The one child alledgedly by
Ceasar, called Caesarion was executed.

The only one who is mentioned further was Cleopatra Selene, she was raised in
the royal household. Juba II was also a war captive, his father also Juba
committed suicide after defeat by Ceasar and the boy Juba was taken and raised
in Italy as well. Some time later, Augustus got a whim to marry them to each
other and make them rulers of Mauretania.

Encyclopaedia Brittanica called Selene his "first wife" without further
elaboration. And mentions nothing about any alledged descendents.

His second wife was Glaphyra daughter of Archelaus king of Cappadocia.
