Was Cleopatra a kind or cruel ruler?
To answer your question correctly, you must first remember that we have to judge the ancient rulers by their own standards and not by ours. There was no such thing as a "kind" ruler in the ancient world. The "good emperors/kings" would not hesitate to slit an opponent's throat if they thought he presented a danger. Cleopatra was neither kind nor cruel, but some of her actions, especially the killing of her brother and sister, are positively cruel to us.
