Antiquities Clemens (Klêmês). (1) Called Romānus, to distinguish him from Clemens of Alexandria. One of the early Christians, said by Origen to have been the friend and fellow-traveller of St. Paul, and afterwards bishop of Rome, to which station he was chosen A.D. 67, or, according to some, A.D. 91. He was the author of an epistle to the church of Corinth. Of this work, the only manuscript extant was in the British Museum until 1875, when Bryennios published a complete MS. of 1056 found at Constantinople; and in 1876, Cambridge University got possession of a Syriac MS. of the year 1170. Archbishop Wake printed a translation in 1705. The best edition of the original is that of Lightfoot (1869; appendix 1877). See Cotterill, Modern Criticism (Edinb. 1884). Clemens is supposed to have died at Rome about the close of the first century, though a legend of the ninth century makes him to have been martyred in the Crimea in A.D. 102. Besides the epistle mentioned above, there have been ascribed to Clemens two Syriac epistles on Virginity, the socalled Clementinae (“Recognitions” and “Homilies”), and several letters; but these may all be regarded as spurious. (2) T. Flavius, a Father of the Church, who flourished between A.D. 190 and 217, and is commonly called Alexandrīnus, to distinguish him from Clemens of Rome. He is supposed by some to have been a native of Athens, and by others of Alexandria, but of his real origin very little is known. He early devoted himself to study in the schools of the latter city, and had many preceptors. His Hebrew preceptor, whom he calls “the Sicilian bee,” was unquestionably Pantaenus, a Jew by birth, but of Sicilian extraction, who united Grecian with sacred learning, and was attached to the Stoic philosophy. Clemens so far adopted the ideas of this preceptor as to espouse the moral doctrine of the Stoics. In other respects he followed the Eclectic method of philosophizing. While the pagan philosophers pillaged the Christian stores to enrich the Eclectic system, this Christian father, on the contrary, transferred the Platonic, Stoic, and Oriental dogmas to the Christian creed, as relics of ancient tradition originating in Divine revelation. His most distinguished follower was Origen. In the hope of recommending Christianity to his catechumens, Clemens made a large collection of ancient wisdom, under the name of Stromata (Strômateis, “patchwork”), and intended to denote the miscellaneous nature of the philosophical and religious topics of which the work treats. He assigned as a reason for the undertaking, that much truth is mixed with the dogmas of philosophers, or, rather, covered and concealed in their writings, like the kernel within its shell. This work is of great value, as it contains many quotations and relates many facts not elsewhere preserved. Besides the Stromata, we have the following works of Clemens remaining: (a) Protrepticon (Logos Protreptikos), or an exhortation to the Pagans; (b) Paedagogus (Paidagôgos), or the instructor; (c) the fragments of a treatise on the use of riches, entitled, “What rich man shall be saved?” The works of Clemens were first printed in Greek only, at Florence, in 1550. Of the various editions with Latin versions, the best is that of Archbishop Potter, 2 vols. (Oxford, 1715). A later edition is that of Klotz (Leipzig, 1834). A translation will be found in Clark's Ante-Nicene Library (1877-79). See Merk, Clemens von Alexandria (Leipzig, 1879); and Bigg, Christian Platonists (Bampton Lect. 1886). (references)

Maxĭmus, Clemens Antiquities Maxĭmus, Clemens. A Roman emperor, A.D. 383-388, in Gaul, Britain, and Spain, was a native of Spain. He was proclaimed emperor by the legions in Britain in 383, and forthwith crossed over to Gaul to oppose Gratian, who was defeated by Maximus, and was shortly afterwards put to death. Theodosius found it expedient to recognize Maximus as emperor of Gaul, Britain, and Spain, in order to secure Valentinian in the possession of Italy. Maximus, however, aspired to the undivided empire of the West, and accordingly, in 387, he invaded Italy at the head of a formidable army. Valentinian was unable to resist him, and fled to Theodosius in the East. Theodosius forthwith prepared to avenge his colleague. In 388 he forced his way through the Noric Alps, which had been guarded by the troops of Maximus, and shortly afterwards took the city of Aquileia by storm and there put Maximus to death. Victor, the son of Maximus, was defeated and slain in Gaul by Arbogastes, the general of Theodosius. (references)
Prudentius, Aurelius Clemens Antiquities Prudentius, Aurelius Clemens. The earliest of the Christian poets of any celebrity. He was a native of Spain, and was born A.D. 348. After practicing as an advocate, and discharging the duties of a civil and criminal judge in two important cities, he received from the emperor Theodosius, or Honorius, a high military appointment at court; but as he advanced in years he became sensible of the emptiness of worldly honor and earnest in the exercises of religion. His poems are composed in a great variety of meters, and are brilliant in style and in the fervor of their Christian sentiment. The Latinity, for its period, is good; and his metrical skill surpasses that of his pagan contemporaries. The best editions of Prudentius are by Obbarius (Tübingen, 1845) and Dressel (Leipzig, 1860). See Faguet, De Prudent. Carminibus Lyricis (Paris, 1883); Rösler, Der katholische Dichter Prudentius (Freiburg, 1886); Puech, Prudence (Paris, 1888); and the monograph by Lease on the language and style (Baltimore, 1895). There is an English translation of selections from Prudentius by F. St. J. Thackeray, with good introduction and notes (1890). (references)
