Cleopatra lost her power as a result of her avarice. She overreached herself by taking on Rome. Now she knew very well that Egypt could not defeat Rome militarily, so she tried to forge family ties with the two most powerful men of her time. After Caesar was killed, she turned her attention to Antony forging a partnership with him that she thought would ultimately bring her the rulership of not only her part of the world, but possibly of Rome itself. Her dreams of power turned into a nightmare of reality when Octavian entered Egypt and dethroned her.
