Egypt accomplished only one thing under Cleopatra's rule and that was the enlargement of the library at Alexandria. This was due to a gift from Antony of, it is said, 20,000 books from the vast library at Pergamum. Otherwise she did no building except a temple to Julius Caesar, there was no advancement in science or the arts and she allowed the canals in the Nile delta to silt up.

Why did Cleopatra want to rule Egypt?

Cleopatra wanted to rule Egypt because she thought it was her right under her father's will.


Why was Rome so important to the fate of Cleopatra's Egypt?

Rome was the conqueror of Cleopatra's Egypt and the government changed. After Cleopatra, Egypt became a Roman province and was governed under Roman law with Roman officials replacing the Greek officials. Taxes were paid to Rome rather than to a pharaoh.


How did the people of Egypt view Cleopatra's power?

It all depends on what people of Egypt you as asking about. Egypt, during the time of the Ptolemies, was a divided country. There were the Greeks in Alexandria and the native Egyptians. The Alexandrians were the ruling class and the Egyptians the working class, who were not allowed any governmental authority. The Alexandrians with the exception of a few, did not care for Cleopatra. They hated her father (drove him into exile) and hated Cleopatra as his daughter and the fact that Caesar, a Roman, put her on the throne. They fought the Alexandrian War on the side of Cleopatra's brother, against Caesar and Cleopatra. So the Alexandrians viewed Cleopatra's power as something imposed on them by an outside force. The native Egyptians, although allowed minimal authority in the nomes, or districts that were the divisions of Egypt, were still under the authority of the Greek overseers of their nome. The average Egyptian farmer or business person paid his taxes, obeyed the laws and regulations and went on with his life. It didn't matter to him or her who was ruling up in Alexandria.
