There wasn't any Roman general captivated by Cleopatra's love. That's just romantic myth. Cleopatra had affairs with both Julius Caesar and Marc Antony but both men needed/wanted her money rather than her person. Caesar needed her on the throne because she owed him money and Antony needed her financing of his military misadventures.

Venus is the Roman goddess of love. She is the goddess of love because she embodies love, beauty, sex, seduction, and enticement. She has persuasive female charm in the community of the gods.
Marc Antony was Cleopatra's Roman political ally. Cleopatra seduced him in order to get his protection for her kingdom, as Egypt was becoming surrounded by Roman territories and was in danger of being annexed by Rome. Their so-called love story has been hyped up out of proportion to its reality. Marc Anthony and Cleopatra were political allies, each using the other for their own purposes.
The relationship between Cleopatra and Marc Antony, weather it was an actual love affair or a political alliance was a total disaster for Egypt. Their depravity was the cause of Roman hatred which led to a civil war, the loss of independence for Egypt and the deaths of both Antony and Cleopatra.
