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 banished Martius,
Repeal him with the welcome of his mother.
Cry 'Welcome, ladies, welcome!' (5.5.1-7)
Here, Volumnia finally gets the recognition she's always wanted. Rome basically throws her a parade after she convinces Coriolanus to make peace between Rome and the Volscians. Too bad that, by convincing her son not to destroy Rome, she's basically signed his death warrant.
