Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita 1.57.10-11

Livy describes how Collatinus welcomes the men into his home as the victor of the contest, but how that same evening an evil desire to violate Lucretia by force takes hold of Sextus Tarquinius, inflamed by both her beauty and her renowned chastity, before the men return to camp.

 

Tier 1

Vir domum adveniens et Tarquinii bene accepti sunt; victor maritus, Collatinus, invitat regios viros domum suam.

Ibi, mala libido stuprandae Lucretiae per vim (of raping Lucretia) capit Sextum Tarquinium;

Et forma et castitas Lucretiae Sextum Tarquinium excitat. Deinde viri in castra redeunt ab nocturno ludo.
