I disagree. She slept with not only Caesar, but with other men such as Anthony. Also, she is recorded as one of the most beautiful. She was a great queen because she was promiscuous and beautiful. She used her beauty for politics.

She did not need divine blood, since she already had born son of Caesar. Caesar is considered to be a progeny of Gods. Caesar's son has much more divine blood than son of Anthony. Cleopatra intended Caesar's son to be the Emperor and Pharaoh. There was no need for more divine blood. She was just being a flirt and falling in love.
Also, Cleopatra was only 21 when she met Caesar, still very young in that era where people matured slower than now. She perfectly matches the Lolita image.
