Cleopatra's goals for Eygpt win back lands that Eygpt had once held in Syria and Palestine and she was at war with her brother. To win the war or battle against her brother she needed Romes help. She seeked for Julius Caesar one of Romes best leaders to aid her in the war agaaist her brother. After the war Caesar went back Rome where he was stabbed to death by the Senate because they thought he was to powerful.
After his death Civil wars broke out and she still needed more help to stay in power so she used her charm to get one of Caesars friends Mark Anthony who was also a general. They got married and had three childern.Then they had a victory party claiming themselves as rulers of Eygpt and Rome.Then Rome went to war with the two lovers.
To let people know Cleopatra was a good ruler she fought her brother and won to have power of Eygpt. She also help Anthony and his conquest by giving money. They both then end up killing themselves at the end.
