If you are referring to Mark Antony, he never actually ruled Rome. He was part of a three-man
alliance which was called triumvirate, with Octavian (later he was called Augustus) and Marcus Aemilius
Lepidus which fought against the assassins of Julius Caesar. After they defeated them, Octavian took charge of the western part of the empire (including the city of Rome), Mark Antony too charge of the east and Lepidus was in charge of northwestern Africa and Spain. Octavian then declared war on Mark Antony and his ally, Cleopatra VII of Egypt. Octavian defeated them and they committed suicide. Mark Antony was in change of the east from 40 BC to 30 BC.
Mark Antony, it should be noted, never actually ruled Rome for long. While Caesar was away in the east, Antony was his Master of the Horse and ruled and was responsible for the city of Rome. He was also the supreme authority after Caesar's murder, as he was the remaining consul and brokered the "deal" with the conspirators.

Octavian did not trust Antony and Cleopatra due to their close alliance, which he viewed as a threat to his own power and the stability of Rome. Antony's decision to align himself with Cleopatra, a foreign queen, fueled suspicions that he was prioritizing her interests over Rome's. Additionally, Cleopatra's influence over Antony and their shared military ambitions raised concerns about their potential to undermine Octavian's authority. This distrust ultimately contributed to the conflict that led to the downfall of both Antony and Cleopatra.

Rome didn't, it was the Emperor who lived in Rome that did this.
No his ex-wife did, but it only led to disaster. Marc Antony originally ruled Rome as Caesar's Master of the Horse while Caesar was in the East going after Pompey. He had a problem with unrest and came down hard on the rioters, incurring the anger of Caesar. When things were patched up between the two of them, and Antony was counsul with Caesar, Caesar was killed and Antony was the sole authority in Rome.
Antony just wants the support of Brutus' followers so he can have complete control over Rome.
Augustus won control of Rome by winning out over Mark Antony in the last civil war of the republic.
Cleopatra was not so much important to Rome as she was to Octavian. She was the tool that Octavian was able to use against Antony and to wage the war against him. By accusing Cleopatra of corrupting Antony, Octavian was able to get the senate to declare war against her. In reality this war was against Antony for sole rule, but Octavian had to avoid all semblance of a civil war and Cleopatra and her conduct with Antony was the perfect opportunity for him.
Rome took over Egypt after the civil war between the last two triumvirs, Octavian and Antony. As Egypt was allied with Antony, it fell to Octavian who was the victor.
She did nothing to influence Roman rule prior to her alliance with Antony. She layed back and watched to see what the outcome of the war between the triumvirs and Brutus and Cassius would be. Her inactivity, when ordered by Rome to come to the aid of Dolobella was the reason that Antony summoned her to Tarsus.
