and that makes her evil?

That makes her stand in line with Veena Malik.

On a serious note she has been unfairly portrayed as evil. The motive behind relationship with Caeser to be the ruler of Egypt.

Cleopatra became Queen of Egypt when she was 18 years old. Her 10 year old brother (whom she was also married to) was co-ruler of Egypt. For several years Cleopatra was the dominant ruler, but that changed when her brother plotted against her. She was forced out of Egypt and was about to go to war with her brother when Julius Caeser stepped in and requested that the dispute be settled peacefully.

Knowing that Caeser would decide who would take the throne in Egypt, Cleopatra smuggled her way into Caeser’s quarters. She was able to persuasively present her case while also charming the much older Caeser. Ultimately, Cleopatra returned to the throne of Egypt and also became Caeser’s lover. The two of them later had a child together.
