this is from the Augustus reading. Question: What does the phrase, “Augustus found Rome a city of brick and left it a city of marble” mean?

By saying "He turned Rome from a brick city to a marble one" implies that he "polished it up". It was colapsing until he took the reigns and changed everything. he became essentially a dictator, but he did more then his father did and aquired power in almost the same way, with complete domination.
