Interesting fact
The Denarius - Marcus Aurelius (CLEM; Clementia) (151-152) coin features an image of the Roman goddess Clementia on the reverse side, which is an unusual depiction for a Roman coin. Clementia was a minor goddess associated with forgiveness, mercy, and clemency, and her appearance on the coin may suggest that Marcus Aurelius was promoting these values during his reign.
