Jacova di Rovere emerges as a representative of Rome's enduring native aristocracy, leading the matrons from beyond the Tiber during the ceremonial bull-feast at the Coliseum. She embodies the continuity of ancient Roman character and features, standing as a living link to the purity of the city's earliest traditions. Her presence in this public spectacle underscores the persistence of Rome's foundational social structures even as the empire evolves around her.
