The answer to your question can be a single word--money. To understand this you need a little background. Cleo's father was kicked off the throne by the Alexandrians and replaced by his daughter, Berenice. He wanted the throne back and went to Rome for assistance. In order to get the help he needed he had to borrow big time. His dept was huge and the Roman money lenders, who were getting little return on their loan, sold the loan to Caesar and Pompey. After Pompey was murdered, the entire dept was in Caesar's lap and Caesar wanted to call it in. Cleo's brother was an out and out enemy of Caesar, so Caesar backed Cleopatra and established her on the throne with the agreement that she repay him half of Egypt's debt, which was what she owed him personally. (the other half was put up by Pompey and didn't concern Caesar). The only way that Cleopatra could repay him was to have access to Egypt's wealth as a queen.
