Detailed explanation-1: -Augustus once said “I found Rome built of bricks; I leave her clothed in marble.” This quote means that Augustus found Rome with barely anything, or everything made out of bricks which did not value anything, and he left it in marble.
Detailed explanation-2: -Augustus expanded the empire, annexing Egypt, part of Spain, areas of central Europe, and even lands in the Middle East, such as Judea in C.E. 6. These additions, along with the end of civil wars, fostered the growth of an enormous trading network.
Detailed explanation-3: -Trade, art, and culture flourished with Rome entering its golden age. The grandiose building projects transformed the capital to such a level that Augustus famously quipped of “inheriting a city of brick, but leaving one built of marble”.
