Cleopatra became a central figure in Roman history by being used as a tool in the power struggle between Antony and Octavian. Antony used her to finance his army, but had to give her concessions in land and titles in exchange. Octavian played upon the decadence of the east, the fact that Antony gave Cleopatra Roman territories, and painted a picture of Cleopatra as a sorceress who turned Antony from an honorable Roman into a slave to eastern vices and luxuries. The final war was declared upon Cleopatra, not on Antony.
Antony, as a triumvir, was the supreme Roman authority in the eastern part of the empire. He summoned Cleopatra to Tarsus in order to give her a chance to justify her inaction in coming to the aid of the triumvirs (as she had been ordered) during the war with Brutus and Cassius.
Cleopatra VII was the last Greek Pharaoh and the only one who learned the Egyptian language. She was supported by 2 Roman generals~ Julious Caesar and Mark Antony. When Augustus gained power over the Roman Empire, he declared war on Antony and Cleopatra and defeated them in 31 BC. Augustus arrived in Alexsandria and demanded Cleopatra's surrender. She was too proud to give in and commited succide. Cleopatra had an affair with Anthony.

Cleopatra was an arrogant, proud and extremely ambitious woman. Her manipulating of Julius Caesar and Marc Antony served to further her ambitions. One of her favorite expressions was "...as sure as I will give judgment on the capitol in Rome" which just about states her intent. So, by using Antony to enlarge Egypt's territories and by financing his wars, she brought about the civil war in which she and Antony were defeated and Octavian became sole ruler. Thus the end of the republic.

Cleopatra successfully fought for power aganist his brother Ptolemy XIII and her sister Arsinoe IV. She also tried, but failed, to overcome the power of Rome and the civil wars between the Romans. Julius Caesar reached Egypt in pursuit of his enemy Pompey. Ptolemy had Pompey killed and his head offered to Caesar. Horrified, Caesar allied with Cleopatra, who became his lover, and supported her in a civil war against her Ptolemy and Arsinoe. Caesar won. Ptolemy was killed in battle and Arsinoe was taken to Rome as a prisoner. She was then exiled to a sanctuary of Artemis in Turkey. Caesar won the war for Cleopatra. After Caesar's death, Mac Antony took charge of the Roman territories in the Eastern Mediterranean. Cleopatra became his lover. She got Mac Antony to kill Arsinoe. Marc Antony partitioned the eastern Mediterranean giving partS of it to Cleopatra, the three sons she had with him and the son she had had with Caesar. However, Octavian (later called Augustus) declared war on Cleopatra as an excuse to fight Mac Antony to gain sole power in Rome. Octavian defeated them in a naval battle and landed in Egypt. He overcome their forces and Marc Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide.
Marc Antony killed Arsinoe as a favor to Cleopatra. Cleopatra convinced him that Arsinoe was about to start a revolution against her and if that happened, Antony would not be financed in his wars. It is possible that his was true, as Cleopatra was not popular with the Alexandrians and Arsinoe had many sympathizers. Now Cleopatra herself could not order her sister's killing because Arsinoe was under the protection of Rome. It could only be a Roman in authority who could do this and Antony was the Roman authority in the east.Marc Antony killed Arsinoe as a favor to Cleopatra.

Well, maybe in romantic novels and plays he does, but in the real world, no. Marc Antony and Cleopatra were political allies. Cleopatra needed Antony to keep her dynasty in power, she lured him with sex and luxury. Antony needed Cleopatra's money to finance his military campaigns, which, if he were victorious, would make him the top man in Rome. They were forced into collaboration, due to Octavian's failure to keep his promises of troops and support for Antony's campaigns. The romantic facet of their relationship has, over time, been blown up to monstrous proportions, overshadowing the actual reasons they were allies.
If you means the government of Rome, they were not afraid of Antony's plans for Cleopatra and their children. They were angry and outraged that Antony would give away Roman territory to a foreigner. This giving away of territory won by Roman troops for Rome, more than anything else ,caused the Roman people to turn against Antony and side with Octavian.
