Now Rome is Rome, not just a huge bazaar

"The thrusting shopkeepers had long been poaching
Our city space, front premises encroaching
Everywhere. Then, Domitian, you commanded
That the cramped alleyways should be expanded,
And what were footpaths became real roads.
One doesn't see inn-posts, now, festooned with loads
Of chained flagons; the praetor walks the street
Without the indignity of muddy feet;
Razors aren't wildly waved in people's faces;
Bar-owners, butchers, barbers know their places,
And grimy restaurants can't spill out too far.
Now Rome is Rome, not just a huge bazaar."

Martial, The Epigrams, (85 AD).
