[QUOTE="Jimski, post: 3387355, member: 77373"]I was searching for the meaning for the CLEMENTIA TEMP legend on my Probus coin, when I ran into this thread. Let me present another idea that I found that is different from the preceding posts. The following reference says that it may be hope for a merciful break in the weather to end a famine. Maybe it could have continued after a famine in the hopes that it would not reoccur. Check the reference out too … Spink & son 1897. Whoa, I never imagined Spink went that far back! [ATTACH=full]899817[/ATTACH] The quote in Latin translated (by Google Translate); •“Quicquid ad Eoos tractus mundique teporem Labitur, emollit gentes clementia coeli” •Whatever the eastern regions of the world warming falls, it softens nations mercy Heaven.
