Since Egypt was under Rome's possession and that it was in debt the motivation was higher. Cleopatra was relatively self-centred and she also wanted to assure her future as Pharaoh by controlling Caesar in a sexual way. She did not accomplish her goal through her affair with Caesar, who was later killed in an assassination mostly planned by Brutus, a senator who never supported Caesar. Octavius was the next heir of the throne, as established by Caesar. Mark Anthony on the other hand was a man that loved Caesar and was a close devoted friend of Caesar's. The Roman Empire later splits into 2 regions with 2 different leaders. Octavius gains the west and Mark Anthony the gains the east while his romance with Cleopatra continues to grow. He previously married Octavius' sister Octavia however that does not keep him away from fully approaching his relationship with Cleopatra in a most serious way. He marries her and they have a pair of twins, a girl and a boy, and another male child. As a couple they unfortunately lose a major battle which changes everything. Octavius wins the eastern territory. Rome was also struggling with a civil war. Mark dies at Cleopatra's feet and as you may know Cleopatra kills herself with a snake. They were buried together where archaeologists believe was in a place 20 miles away from Alexandria.
