- He knew what the people wanted a city fit for a emperior
- Parthenon was a massive building with a huge 40 ft. statiue of Athenia, goddess, in it
- Made of marble, irony, gold, and gews
- Friezes, 500 ft. long, were inside that were narrow marble shells carved to show regular people doing farming and battle ect.
- A testament to the common man
