The youngest daughter of the Colonna house, she was meant to join the spectacle at the bull-feast but was prevented by a sprained ankle suffered in the garden of Nero's tower. Her absence from the event marks her only appearance in the narrative, a brief glimpse of Roman aristocratic life interrupted by misfortune.
