Augustus invested in many infrastructure projects
It has been said that Augustus was quite happy with the infrastructure improvements he and his son-in-law Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa (Julia the Elder's spouse) completed: “I found a Rome of bricks, I leave to you one of marble.” Emperor Augustus once said.
One of the Major Achievements of Augustus Caesar is that he invested in many infrastructure projects. The Theatre of Balbus, the Baths of Agrippa, the Forum of Augustus with its Temple of Mars Ultor, and the Temple of Caesar are just a few of the significant structures that Augustus ordered. Agrippa, who served as both his second-in-command and valued advisor for a very long period, was given the task of building the Pantheon.
Emperor Augustus utilized the wealth from Egypt to construct a number of spectacular structures, including the Mausoleum of Augustus, which was constructed before his passing and was modeled after classical Greek architecture. Additionally, he properly funded a panel of five senators known as "Supervisors of Public Property" to care for the public structures and temples in Rome. The senatorial commission was another entity that oversaw road maintenance. They were known as "Supervisors for Roads”. Rome's substantial road networks were tremendously helpful in creating an effective official courier system.
