His victories mainly contributed to make the Emperor Augustus, whose
daughter he married, master of the Roman Empire: and he was the chief
support of the rising monarchical institution in Rome. He spent much
money on public works, erected several public buildings, including the
Pantheon and the Julian aqueduct; was a patron of the fine Arts, and
dying, bequeathed his goods and his gardens to the people of Rome.
