Cleopatra was a typical eastern ruler. She was authoritian, arrogant and according to Cicero, indolent. She imposed heavy taxes on her people while appropriating the entire share of the papyrus trade for herself., in addition to the other royal shares of import and export taxes. Even though she had supporters, she also had many enemies in Egypt, some in her own household. The worst thing that she did was to overreach and try to take on Rome. In consequence, she caused her country to lose its independence and become a vassal of Rome.
