Fadilla was the eldest sister of Emperor Commodus, whose desperate warning to her brother about the danger posed by Marcia represented a final attempt to save him from conspiracy. Her dramatic entrance, bathed in tears with dishevelled hair, broke through the barriers of imperial protocol in a desperate bid to protect her brother.
Description
A Roman noblewoman whose features are marked by emotional distress, her dark hair dishevelled and her face streaked with tears. Her fine Roman garments are in disarray, suggesting the urgency that drove her to break imperial protocol. Her presence carries the weight of desperate concern, her appearance reflecting the gravity of whatever warning she carries to her brother's presence.
