The praefectus urbi was an important official in ancient Rome, responsible for maintaining public order and overseeing the administration of the city of Rome. Appointed by the emperor, this position was often seen as a precursor to the more powerful role of the prefect of the guard. The praefectus urbi had authority over law enforcement, urban infrastructure, and various civic duties, especially during the absence of the emperor. This role was significant in ensuring the smooth functioning of Rome as a bustling metropolis.
URBI was created in 2003.

"Orbi" and "torbi" are Latin words that translate to "to the world" and "to the earth," respectively. They are often used in religious contexts, particularly in the phrases "Urbi et Orbi," which means "to the city (of Rome) and to the world." This phrase is commonly associated with papal blessings given by the Pope on special occasions.
