To answer your question correctly, you must first remember that we have to judge the ancient rulers by their own standards and not by ours. There was no such thing as a "kind" ruler in the ancient world. The "good emperors/kings" would not hesitate to slit an opponent's throat if they thought he presented a danger. Cleopatra was neither kind nor cruel, but some of her actions, especially the killing of her brother and sister, are positively cruel to us.
