Called again to Rome by Chigi, in the Villa Chigi (now the Villa Farnesina), working alongside Baldassarre Peruzzi, Sodoma painted subjects from the life of Alexander the Great: "Alexander in the Tent of Darius" and the "Nuptials of the Conqueror with Roxanne", which some people consider his masterpiece. When Leo X became pope (1513), Sodoma presented him with a picture of the "Death of Lucretia" (or of Cleopatra, according to some accounts). Leo gave him a large sum of money as a reward and created him a "cavaliere".
