Well, the gematria-latin interpretation says:
J+E+S+U+S=10+5+100+300+100=515.
Seems impossible that Dante could have known this solution
because the latin letter "J" at that time did not exist [?].
The other interpretations start from 515=DXV, but they
can not go much further.
Another one says 515=DXV and, by permutation,
DXV=DVX=Mussolini !

that "thievish woman" might be the church (during 1312)
