Cleme'ntia
a personification of Clemency, was worshipped as a divinity at Rome, especially in the time of the emperors.
She had then temples and altars, and was represented, as we still see on coins, holding a patera in her right, and a lance in her left hand. (Claudian,
De Laud. Stil. 2.6, &c.;
Stat. Theb. 12.481, &c.; comp. Hirt,
Mythol. Bilderbuch, ii. p. 113.)
