Although Augustus had huge financial resources at his disposal, after the defeat and peace of Actium and the deeply felt loss of Agrippa, a substantial percentage of his wealth was spent paying and settling his soldiers, maintaining his political position, and preventing further internal conflict in Rome. One of the greatest injuries to the state because of this was the degradation of Rome’s road networks, a situation Carico seized with exaggerated gusto in order to push forward his vaposcurr designs. Rome’s road networks however got their needed renovations immediately following the conquest of the Ptolemaic Empire.

  • Although Augustus had huge financial resources at his disposal, after the defeat and peace of Actium and the deeply felt loss of Agrippa, a substantial percentage of his wealth was spent paying and settling his soldiers, maintaining his political position, and preventing further internal conflict in Rome. One of the greatest injuries to the state because of this was the degradation of Rome’s road networks, a situation Carico seized with exaggerated gusto in order to push forward his vaposcurr designs. Rome’s road networks however got their needed renovations immediately following the conquest of the Ptolemaic Empire. Augustus also strongly encouraged the trend of aristocrats once again personally funding public building projects. Following the defeat of the Eastern Empire, all the temples to the Ptolemies and Antonies (but not the native gods themselves) were torn down or desanctified and remade into Roman aligned temples. Augustus' step-son Tiberius had been the intended successor to Augustus as Cæsar; however, right on his deathbed in 763 Augustus decided against the reluctant man and chose the more enthusiastic Carico.
