He tackled credit and restored some commercial stability to the system ravaged by his own wars; put through tax reforms; wrestled with the problems of labor and wages; and began to examine what we today call the problems of urban environment. . . He tried to reorganize the crowded city traffic that choked the streets of Rome, and, of course, like all men dealing...
