Ukusweleka kukayise kwiminyaka emine kamva ngo-51 BC kwamenza ngokuzenzekelayo uCleopatra, owayeneminyaka eli-18 ngoko, kunye nomntakwabo oneminyaka elishumi ubudala uPtolemy XIII. Ngokwesiko lesiqhelo, uCleopatra noPtolemy XIII batshata. Nangona kunjalo, watsho ngokucacileyo ukuba wayefuna ukuba yedwa kwaye wayengenanjongo yokwabelana ngamandla. Iminyaka emithathu yokuqala yokulawula kwakhe yayinzima kwaba babini njengoko kwaphawulwa kukusilela kwezoqoqosho, indlala, izikhukula zomNayile, kunye neengxabano zopolitiko. Kungekudala, uCleopatra wahlukana noPtolemy waza wagweba igama lakhe kumaxwebhu asemthethweni. Ukubonakala kobuso bakhe bodwa kwiingqekembe kwabacaphukisa abantu njengoko yayiqhekeza isithethe sakudala sePtolemaic solawulo lwabasetyhini oluphantsi kwabalawuli abangamadoda. Ingxabano yakhe noGabiniani ikhokelele ekuweni kweCleopatra kwaye yabonisa ukuphela kobukumkani bakhe. Ngo-48 BC, umntakwabo uPtolemy XIII waba ngumlawuli oyedwa. Nangona wazama ukuzisa imvukelo evukelayo, kwaba lilize kwaye kwafuneka abaleke. Ngeli xesha, ngelixa uCleopatra wayeselubhacweni, uPompey wabandakanyeka kwiMfazwe Yamakhaya yaseRoma. Ukoyiswa kwakhe kwiMfazwe yaseParsalus kwakhokelela ekubeni afike eAlexandria kwaye ekugqibeleni wabulawa ngokomyalelo kaPtolemy. UPtolemy, owayeyalele ukuba kubulawe uPompey ukuze asondele kuJulius Ceasar, wayenempazamo enkulu njengoko uKesare waba nomsindo xa enikwa intloko kaPompey. Nangona uPompey wayeyimbangi yezopolitiko, wayengummeli waseRoma kunye nomhlolokazi wentombi yakhe esemthethweni, uJulia.

Okwangoku, ukwenza imali kwisiliphu esenziwe nguPtolemy, uCleopatra wasondela kuKesare. Uthando lomelele kwaye uKesare wazilahla izicwangciso zakhe zokufaka i-Egypt kwaye endaweni yoko wanceda uCleopatra kwibango lakhe lesihlalo sobukhosi. Kwimfazwe yaseNayile, warhaxisa uPtolemy XIII kwaye wenza uCleopatra ukumkanikazi. Qhubeka nokuFunda ngezantsi kweCleopatra, kunye nomnye umntakwabo omncinci uPtolemy XIV waba ngumlawuli-co. Ngo-46 BC, yena kunye noKesarion kunye noPtolemy XIV, batyelela iRoma. Oku kudala ingqumbo eluntwini njengoko uKesare wayesele etshatile noCalpurnia Pisonis. Emva kokubulawa kukaKesare ngo-Matshi 15, 44BC, uCleopatra wabuyela eYiputa. Emva koko, uPtolemy XIV wasweleka kwaye uCesarionion wangena esihlalweni sobukhosi kunye noCleopatra. Kwimfazwe yamakhaya yaseRoma, wanceda i-Italiya kwaye wafudukela kwicala elingasempuma loBukhosi baseRoma. Waqala ukwakha isiseko semikhosi yamajoni aseKesariya, ekhokelwa nguAntony no-Octavian kodwa akazange athathe inxaxheba kwimfazwe njengoko wayegula. Okwangoku, uCleopatra wabizwa ukuba ahlangane no-Antony, owayengathandabuzi ukuthembeka kwakhe. Nangona kunjalo, xa wadibana naye, wayechukunyiswe bubuhle bakhe kangangokuba wafudukela eAlexandria naye. Ngo-41 BC, ngokulandela imiyalelo kaCleopatra, u-Antony wabulala u-Arsinoe, owathi udumo lwakhe olukhulayo lwaba ngunobangela weNkosazana entle. Wade wayalela ukuba kubulawe iSipro kunye neSerapion.
