Spalliera panels of Lucretia and Virginia are completed in the early 1500s as Roman chastity-and-violence exempla

Gardner (Lucretia) and Accademia Carrara (Virginia) hold related panels; dating early 1500s republican Florence. Exempla of assault and tyranny are political-moral furniture, not news reportage. In the causal graph this event weakens Protection of Minority Rights, a driver that strengthens Having a say in government — a worsening welfare path.

Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. Split from Nastagio.
