Cleopatra was the last of Ptolemies. When she died in 30 B.C., Romans took over territory formally controlled by the Ptolemies.
Deification of Caesar was a clever way to marry state and religion and how did they placate the citizens but with 'bread and circus.' The no man's land would include as far as China from where Rome brought silk to give their splendor to a new heights. Imperial splendor of Roman masters was much emulated by their vassals throughought the Empire and beyond. Man's expectation took to wings just as Lucifer did say in his heart,"I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:" Wealth became a status symbol and consumable exotic and pricier they were the better. Decadence setting in was the least worrisome if citizens were on to 'good life',
In this context Daniel interpreting the King's Dream in Ch.2 focused on the world empires becoming decadent which brought the nascent Christianity into a collision course. How the three ribs caused the head in solid gold end with feet of iron mixed with clay explains the consequence of the three ribs goading each heart on. Their truth was entirely set on the context, no wonder Machiavelli was yet to write his magnum opus, The Prince.
"His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay." White Nationalism, prosperity theology making common cause with the State ought to tell the three ribs are doing their work still.
