In Roman eyes, the offer of becoming a client state was not the same as slavery but had several benefits. But it did mean giving up absolute sovereignty. To Cleopatra it was unacceptable, and to some extent also would involve some public humiliation and derision by the people of Rome. By her hoosing to take the route of suicide, the Roman officer asked if this was the best choice - to choose to die rather than live even if in a lesser role.
