Susanna and the elders (Susana e os velhos)

Susanna, Joakim’s wife, a rich man in Babylon, was having a bath in their backyard when she was surprised by two old men. They demanded sexual favors for not defaming her. They were punished due to the intervention of the prophet Daniel (book chapter 13).
