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.; Mythol. Bilderbuch, ii. p. 113.)
