Was Cleopatra Good ruler why or why not?

Question

Was Cleopatra Good ruler why or why not?

Answer 1

She was bad because she killed herself and that sets a bad example for everybody.

Answer 2

She was as good a ruler as Egypts could have at the time... She managed to maintain a certain degree of autonomy from Rome and the neighbouring states, while if her brother Ptolemy had succeeded to the throne, Egypt would likely have become a Roman province 30 years earlier.
