I built the Curia [= Curia Iulia, 29 BC] the Temple of Apollo on the Palatine [36-28 BC] the Temple of the Divine Julius [29 BC] the temples on the Capitoline. I rebuilt the Capitolium and the theatre of Pompey, each work requiring great expense, without any inscription of my name. I rebuilt the channels of the aqueducts which were falling apart in many places through age I completed the Forum Iulium and the Basilica [Iulia], the works having been begun and almost finished by my father I rebuilt 82 temples of the gods in the city during my sixth consulship [28 BC] On [my] private land I built the Temple of Mars Ultor and the Forum of Augustus from the spoils of war.

Throughout his life his appearance was distinguished and graceful. He did not dress extravagantly and cared so little about his hair that several barbers worked furiously on it at the same time. His beard was either trimmed or shaved while he continued reading or writing. He had clear, bright eyes few teeth, which were small and dirty his hair was yellowish and slightly curly, his eyebrows met and his nose jutted out then turned inwards. He was neither dark nor fair as was rather short but with well-proportioned limbs. On his body were spots and callouses caused by excessive use of the strigil He sometimes limped and suffered in general from a week constitution Unable to endure heat or cold, he always wore a hat outdoors and in winter wore a woollen vest.
