Rome reportedly had: 10 public basilicas, 36 triumphal arches, 6 obelisks, 2 imperial columns, 22 horse statues, 80 gilded statues, 74 ivory statues, 18 aqueducts, 8 bridges, 11 public baths, 856 private baths, 9 circuses and theatres, 28 libraries, 1790 exclusive domus, 66 thousand residential tenement houses and 46 lupanars.
