Chapter: SCENE V.
Rome. A street near the gate

Enter two SENATORS With VOLUMNIA, VIRGILIA, VALERIA, passing over
the stage,
'With other LORDS

  FIRST SENATOR. Behold our patroness, the life of Rome!
    Call all your tribes together, praise the gods,
    And make triumphant fires; strew flowers before them.
    Unshout the noise that banish'd Marcius,
    Repeal him with the welcome of his mother;
  ALL. Welcome, ladies, welcome!
                    [A flourish with drums and trumpets. Exeunt]

 This short scene marks a false denouement  for the play as a procession of citizens, patricians, and Senators joyously welcome the women back to Rome. A Senator addresses Volumnia as the patroness and lifeblood of Rome. He then tells the commoners to celebrate the wondrous retreat of Coriolanus and the Volscians with ceremonious fires and strewn flowers.
