Cleopatra became a central figure in Roman history by being used as a tool in the power struggle between Antony and Octavian. Antony used her to finance his army, but had to give her concessions in land and titles in exchange. Octavian played upon the decadence of the east, the fact that Antony gave Cleopatra Roman territories, and painted a picture of Cleopatra as a sorceress who turned Antony from an honorable Roman into a slave to eastern vices and luxuries. The final war was declared upon Cleopatra, not on Antony.
