Cleopatra rolled herself up in a carpet or mat to get into the palace because she would have been killed on sight if she entered Alexandria freely. She was at war with her brother and her brother would have liked nothing more than to be rid of her.

Why did Antony think that Cleopatra died?

You have to remember the scene in Alexandria at the time. Cleo and Antony were defeated, Octavian was about to enter the city. There were going to be consequences for both Antony and Cleopatra. Cleopatra went into hiding. Some think that Cleo deliberately caused a message to be sent to Antony saying that she was dead, and with that certainty, she knew Antony would commit suicide. That way she could try to pin all the blame for the war on Antony. (which according to Plutarch, she tried) Others think it was a matter of miscommunication. All the ancient writers say is that Antony received a message saying that Cleopatra was dead. They don't say if this message was written or oral. If it were an oral message, which would make sense, as the city was in turmoil and a written message could be easily confiscated by the Romans who were looking for Cleopatra, it could very easily have been garbled. As Cleopatra wanted Antony to know where she was hiding, her messenger could very easily have said "Cleopatra is in her tomb" instead of "Cleopatra is hiding out in her tomb". Therefore Antony thinks that Cleo is dead. This makes the most sense.


Did Caesar bring Cleopatra to Rome?

No, Caesar summoned her to Rome. There's a difference. Caesar had established Cleopatra and her brother on the Egyptian throne, but the senate had to confirm their status as Allies. An allied kingdom had privileges and also responsibilities. The senate had to debate this and hear from the Egyptian representatives. It was much more efficient to have Cleopatra, on the spot to give answers, than to have her in Egypt writing long distance letters. By the way, Cleopatra never entered Rome itself. She was confined to Caesar's villa across the Tiber outside of the sacred city walls, the pomerium. This was because the Romans had a long standing rule that no crowned head could enter the city.

Is the entrance of Cleopatra to rome true as seen in the movie?

I'm assuming you mean the Cleopatra movie with Elizabeth Taylor and the answer is no, no, and no. That was all Hollywood hype. Do you think for one minute that the Roman people would line the streets to cheer a foreign queen? In fact, Cleopatra herself never entered Rome. Rome had a sacred wall called the "pomerium" which guarded the core of the city. No crowned head could enter this area. This was a sacred tradition among the Romans and even a dictator such as Caesar could not and would not break it. The ancient writers are very clear about the fact that Cleopatra was housed and stayed in Caesar's villa across the Tiber, not in Rome itself.I'm assuming you mean the Cleopatra movie with Elizabeth Taylor and the answer is no, no, and no.

The imperial palace was called the forbidden palace because back when China had an emperor entrance to the palace complex was forbidden to anyone who did not have express permission to enter from the emperor.
