Mark Antony and his ally Octavian (later he was called Augustus) then got locked in a power struggle. Octavian declared war on Cleopatra because it was easier than declaring war on Mark Antony. His true goal was to fight Mark Antony, whom he knew would come to her aid. Octavian defeated the two of them. After his victory Egypt was annexed to Rome. Mark Antony was in charge of the eastern territories of Rome before the war with Octavian. He put the three children he had with Cleopatra in charge of parts of these territories.

Octavius and Antony have a heated argument about what?
Octavius' name changed to Octavian after he was adopted by Julius Caesar. Octavian and Mark Antony did not like each other. Octavian thought that Mark Antony was arrogant and an inept administrator. Mark Antony did not like the fact that Caesar had made Octavian his heir. Their conflict went way beyond a heated argument. It escalated into a civil war over who would become the sole ruler of the Roman territories. Octavian was in charge of the western part and Mark Antony was in charge of the eastern part. A propaganda war started between the two men. Eventually Octavian found an excuse to declare war on Mark Antony's ally, Cleopatra VII of Egypt, knowing that Antony would come to her help. This has been called the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic. Octavian won and Cleopatra and Mark Antony committed suicide. Octavian became the sole ruler of Rome, established rule by emperors and was the first Roman emperor with the tile of Augustus.
How did Antony acquire the weath in financial resources he needed to fight Octavian for control of the Roman empire?
After the Second Triumvirate won the Liberators' Civil War against Brutus and cssius, the leaders of Julius Caesar'd assassination the triumvirs divided the Roman territories among themselves in the Agreement of Brundisum. Antony was given control over the eastern territories and Octavian got control over the west and Lepidus controlled Hispania and (northwestern) Africa . Initially things were quite settled. Although the provinces Mark Antony controlled in the east were very rich in resources, the profligate Antony run into financial trouble. He resolved this by allying with Cleopatra VII of Egypt. Egypt was immensely rich (the richest land in the Mediterranean and Cleopatra was the richest woman in the world. He became Cleopatra's lover and had three children with her. It has noted that the fight for sole control over the Roman Empire was Octavian's agenda, not Mark Antony's. Antony was happy in the east and no longer had ambitions to be sole ruler of the whole of the Roman territories. It was Octavian who pursued an aggressive policy against Antony to gain sole control of the empire. In the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic, the forces of Octavian and Mark Antony were roughly equal in size. However, Octavian controlled more Roman legions. Many of the troops who fought on Mark Antony's side were Cleopatra's Egyptians. Octavian found an excuse to declare war on Cleopatra (a foreigner) as a ruse to fight mark Antony, as he knew that Antony would come to her aid.
How did Cleopatra attempt to influence Roman rule in the near east prior to her alliance with mark Antony?
She did nothing to influence Roman rule prior to her alliance with Antony. She layed back and watched to see what the outcome of the war between the triumvirs and Brutus and Cassius would be. Her inactivity, when ordered by Rome to come to the aid of Dolobella was the reason that Antony summoned her to Tarsus.
How did Mark Antony plan to overcome his plan to control the Roman empire with Octavian as his obstacle?
Mark Antony did not have a plan to control the Roman Empire. Although Mark Antony had ambitions to be sole ruler of Rome soon after Caesar's death, this changed with the Second Triumvirate. After winning the Liberators' Civil War against the assassins of Julius Caesar, the triumvirs divided the Roman territories among themselves in the Agreement of Brundisum. Antony was given control over the eastern territories and Octavian got control over the west. Initially things were quite settled. Antony was happy in the east and no longer had ambitions to be sole ruler of the whole of the Roman territories. It was Octavian who pursued an aggressive policy against Antony to gain sole control of the empire, not the other way round. Although the provinces Antony controlled in the east were rich in resources, the profligate Antony run into financial trouble. He resolved this by allying with Cleopatra VII of Egypt as Egypt was immensely rich and Cleopatra was the richest woman in the world. He became Cleopatra's lover and had three children with her. Antony started turning the east into a kingdom ruled by himself, Cleopatra, the children he had with her and the child Cleopatra had with Caesar (Caesarion). Alexander Helios was made king of Armenia, Media (in eastern Turkey) and even Persia, which was not under Roman control. His twin Selene was made king of Cyrenaica (eastern Libya). Caesarion was made ruler of Egypt together with and Cleopatra. Caesarion became King of Kings and Cleopatra became Queen of Queens. This division of the east among Cleopatra's children was not welcomed in the west. However, it was not an immediate threat to Octavian's control over the west or his political position more in general. Antony's declaration of Caesarion as the legitimate son of Caesar and Caesar's heir, despite Octavian having been names as heir in Caesar's will, was a more serious matter. Octavian's power base was his adoption by Caesar. This was the source of his popularity. He refused to acknowledge the declaration of Caesarian because he saw his position threatened by the child of the richest woman in the world. He started a smear campaign to weaken Anthony's standing in Rome and to set the city of Rome against him. Antony responded with his own propaganda campaign. Octavian managed to rally Rome against Antony. The thing that truly incensed the Romans was not Octavian's accusations, but the fact that he revealed that Antony intended to be buried in Alexandria with Cleopatra, instead of Rome. This shows that Antony was only interested in the east. Octavian found an excuse to declare war on Cleopatra as a ruse to fight Antony, whom he knew he would come to her aid. This was the beginning of the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic in which Octavian defeated the forces of Antony and Cleopatra.

No names of Cleopatra's inner circle of friends have come down to us. She had friends, or at least "fair weather" friends, as they formed the social club of Extravagant Livers. The only person of note that seemed to be Cleopatra's friend, and asked for her help was Herod's mother-in-law, Alexandria. You could consider Marc Antony a friend in a way.

Her backing of Marc Antony's rulership in the eastern part of the Roman empire pleased the eastern Romans but displeased the western Romans and Octavian Caesar.
