How Cleopatra was perceived by the people of Egypt?

The perception of Cleopatra by the people of Egypt would depend on who you asked. There were actually "two Egypts" --- the Egyptians in Alexandria, who were mostly of Greek descent, and the native Egyptians who lived elsewhere. The Alexandrians were the politically vocal segment of the population and they resented Caesar butting into their affairs by putting Cleopatra on the throne. They even started a war to try to get rid of her. However she did have the support of many of the wealthier Alexandrians. By the time of Cleopatra the native Egyptians and Greeks were beginning to be integrated, especially in the outer nomes or provinces. These provincial Egyptians were mostly neutral towards her, afterall, they had various kings, queens and pharaohs over the centuries and their lives never changed. They dutifully lined the banks of the Nile and cheered whenever she sailed past them and they dutifully paid their taxes and collected their grain allowances.
