Abstract
Lorenzetti's portrait of the tyrant as a rapist (above) draws on the traditional view of the covetous tyrants, who lusts for the daughters and the wives of his subject. This accusation can also be found in Savonarola and Machiavelli. Also shown are arbitrary arrest, assault & killing in the streets, all to depict the loathsomeness of the government.
