Res Gestae

I rebuilt the Capitol and Pompey's theatre at much cost, without an inscription of my name. I rebuilt the old aqueducts, and sent a new spring in the water way which doubled the Marcian's size. I finished the Forum of Julius and the Basilica which he built in between the Temple of Castoris and the Temple of Saturn, which had begun under my father, and when the Basilica was consumed by fire, I brought about construction by myself, and put a place card on it under the names of my sons, and if it is not finished when I am alive, my heirs should complete it. For the sixth Consul, I rebuilt the two god's temples in the city with the authority of the Senate, missing nothing which was to be rebuilt at that time. For the seventh Consul, the Flaminium road was rebuilt from the city to Arminium an the bridges except the Minucian and the Mulvian.
