The Rape of Lucretia

Tarquinius Superbus, being king of Rome, and Sextus Tarquinius, being son of the evil tyrant. Sextus Lucretiam's wife, Collatini, was carried away, and a good woman, by means of much love and power, her murder. Ancient Romans always praise the strength and intellect of Lucretiae and blame Tarquinius.
