`flat:gov`: partitive-like appositional element

Sometimes, the named element in an appositional construction is expressed in an oblique case (genitive) as if it were a modifier, while the structure actually remains flat. In this sense, the flat construction “governs” a case.

Examples

urbs Romae, where urbs and Roma are coreferent: the city is not a possession of Rome, but Rome itself

‘Now add to their number those most holy victims, the Decii, who …’ (De Monarchia, UDante)

Note: the Decii themselves are the victims; there are no victims caused by (“belonging to”) them. The English translation indeed conveys this expression with a mere apposition.
