Augustus, Res Gestae Divi Augusti 20 (ca. A.D. 14):
Capitolium et Pompeium theatrum utrumque opus impensa grandi refeci sini ulla inscriptione nominis mei. Rivos aquarum compluribus locis vetustate labentes refeci, et aquam quae Marcia appellatur duplicavi fonte novo in rivum eius inmisso. I repaired the Capitolium and the theater of Pompeius, both at great expense, without any inscription of my name. I rebuilt the channels of aqueducts, which in several places were collasping through their old age, and I doubled the aqueduct called the Marcia with a new spring having been sent into its channel.
