| Summary: | "Cleopatra was born into a time when power struggles within her own kingdom of Egypt were magnified with the increasing dominance of Rome. As more and more kingdoms were conquered by the Roman Empire, Cleopatra faced challenges at home in Egypt. When her brother Ptolemy XIII stole the throne from her, Cleopatra knew she had to befriend Rome in order to protect Egypt.
