Abstract
We present a bardiglio-marble plaque that formed the pluteus of the prohedria in the Roman theatre of Cadiz. On the underside, with a rough quarry extraction surface, it bears the inscribed mark AGR followed by the numeral CXXXV which, according to the hermeneutics of these notae lapicidinarum, allows confirming the role of Marcus Agrippa in the exploitation of Luni-Carrara marbles. The early use of imported marmora in the construction of this Hispanic theatre (27-13 BC) is explained by the patronage relationship over Gades of Agrippa and Cornelius Balbus Minor.
