Opinions regarding Cleopatra were a mixed bag.Rome hated her. Her own people, initially, did not want her and backed her brother for king. They also resented Julius Caesar putting her on the throne, as Egypt was a free and independent country and in the opinion of the Alexandrians, Rome had no right to interferr in their government. She also made enemies of her neighbors. However, she also had peoople who backed her, such as the members of her elaborate living club and the fellow who paid Octavian a vast amount of money not to tear down Cleo's statues in Alexandria.
