Julius Caesar was top dog in the Roman world at the time he entered Egypt. After the Alexandrian War, he established Cleopatra as queen along with her younger brother as co-ruler. Then Caesar and Cleo took that famous trip down the Nile. That was not a love fest, but a political statement. Caesar and his Roman troops were telling the Egyptian people that Cleopatra was the queen backed up by the force of Rome. That was how Cleopatra gained power.
