Battle Caesar won, however Cleopatra supported the opposing side (Pompey) as they were in charge in the east. Pompey flees to Egypt, however Egypt wants to be on Caesar's side, so they kill Pompey and wait for Caesar to arrive. When Cleopatra and Caesar first meet.
-
Rome breaks into civil war.
-
Octavian and Antony win against Lepidus. Cleopatra again at odds with Rome for supporting the "wrong" side (just because they were closer to her geographically). Octavian is younger, so Antony sends him back to the better controlled west (Italy) while Antony goes east to talk to Cleopatra.
-
Cleopatra convincing Antony that Rome needs Egypt's support via position in the unsecure east and monetary means.
-
Assassinated at Cleopatra's word by Antonius.
-
Cleopatra reappears in His because Anthony needs money/troops/resources in east. Goes badly.
-
Goes bad again but less bad this time.
-
Antony gives Egypt (Cleopatra) its former land back (a lotttt), this shifts public opinion in favor of Octavian. Weakens/Strengthens Cleopatra as while it gives her more territory, it puts her in direct conflict with Rome... bad.
-
Battle that could have changed His if it had gone differently. Escape? Or strategy? Up for interpretation, but Antony and Cleopatra leave. Takes place in Greece.
-
Antony commits suicide first and then Cleopatra weeks later.
