Cleopatra had many goals for Egypt which included winning back lands that Egypt had once held in Syria and Palestine. In order to do this she needed help, so she went to seek help from the Roman conqueror Julius Caesar. She wanted his help because he was in control of Rome the strongest power in the Mediterranean.
After much chaos and commotion a war broke out in Rome, Octavian vs. Cleopatra VII and Anthony. After the war rumors were spread and Anthony and Cleopatra both ended up committing suicide. Cleopatra was very serious about being a good ruler for Egypt one example was that she dated plenty of men with power to help her country and help her keep power.
