By the side of the great public works, the temples, and the stately edifices, with which Pericles adorned Athens, all Romes attempts at splendour down to the times of the Caesars, taken together, are not worthy to be considered, nay, the one had a towering pre-eminence above the other, both in grandeur of design, and grandeur of execution, which precludes comparison.
