The sentence is incorrectly punctuated and hard to read. It should be like this: In time for the 1475 Holy Year, Sixtus IV – a worldly, power-player pope – built the Rome's first new bridge for more than a thousand years. In this case "power-player" probably means someone who wields power and influence over important political affairs.
