Why did the Persians want to attack thermopylae?
They did not want to attack Thermopylai. They wanted to go through thr pass of Thermopylai from northern to southern Greece which was blocked by a small Greek force.
When did Cleopatra enter Rome?
Cleopatra never entered Rome itself. She was there in 46 BC and again in 44 BC, but not in the city itself. The city of Rome had a sacred wall called the "pomerium" with many kinds of restrictions and one of them was that no crowned head could pass through it. The ancient writers make it very clear that she was established in Caesar's villa, outside of the city, across the Tiber. All the diplomatic discussions had to be done through agents or through representatives of the senate coming to her.Cleopatra never entered Rome itself.

What did Spartans do at Thermopylae pass?
As part of a Greek blocking force, they helped hold the pass for three days to make the Persians try to break through by turning the bottleneck by sea. The Greek navies were waiting offshore to pounce on the Persian navy to try to eliminate it and its threat to the Greek cities. As it turned out, the Greek navies were defeated and withdrew to try again at Salamis. The land blocking force at Thermopylae, its mission now invalidated, withdrew. The Spartan contingent of 300 heavy infantry and 2,100 light infantry, together with the Thespian contingent, remained holding the pass to allow the other city contingents to escape to the walls of friendly cities before the Persian cavalry broke through and rode them down in open countryside. They were killed to a man, a noble sacrifice to save their comrades.
How wide was the Thermopylae Pass?
At its narrowest, about 100 metres.
What is a narrow mountain that pass where the Greeks valiantly fought?
Thermopylae
