When Cleopatra killed herself in Alexandria in Egypt, Alexandria was part of Rome, right?
Thanks!
Yes, The Romans ( Julius Caesar) had conquered Egypt. Rome conquers Egypt in 30 BCE.

I know she killed herself in 30 BC. So you are saying Rome conquered Egypt earlier in the year then?
Alexandria had been greatly influenced by Rome, but it was only in 30 B.C., shortly before Cleopatra's death, that it came officially under Roman rule.

No, at the time of Cleopatra's death, Alexandria was not part of Rome. Alexandria was indeed located in Egypt, but it was under the control of the Roman Empire.
