He himself built twelve temples, and repaired eighty-two that had fallen into decay.

The FORUM was beautified by five halls of justice (_Basilicae_), which were erected around its borders.

The most famous of these was the BASILICA JULIA, begun by Julius Caesar and finished by Augustus.

Public squares were planned and begun north of the great Forum, the finest of which was the FORUM OF TRAJAN, finished by the Emperor of that name.
The finest building outside of the city, in the Campus Martius, was the PANTHEON, built by Agrippa, and now used as a Christian church.

Here are buried many distinguished men.
