If you use a classical Latin dictionary, you still need to look the word up under 'I'.

It depends on the dictionary you use. It's really a stylistic convention. I looked ivvo up in Lewis and Short, which is about as classical as the dictionaries in my library get. It's under J for consonantal I. You could argue that a Roman Latin dictionary would list ivvo under IVVO as the Romans mainly used capitals letters, but then you wouldn't find a Latin-English dictionary in Ancient Rome.
