Abstract
A Roman altar recently discovered in the impressive Vatican necropolis, next to the via Triumphalis in Rome, is dedicated to the memory of M. Vibius M.f. Marcellus, ambassador from Augusta Firma, a Roman colony in the province Baetica. This is the starting point for a brief analysis of the local embassies and their importance for the civic communities, as well as for the consideration of the individual buried in Rome, his social status and the circumstances of his journey as a legatus to the imperial capital, where he finally died.
