Tacitus in the annals of the year 22 states that Tiberius' repression of professional accusers had won for him the reputation of Moderatio (a quality which is frequently combined with Clementia). In "Two 'Virtues' of Tiberius: A Numismatic Contribution to the History of His Reign," C. Sutherland suggests the hypothesis that "the Senate, in A.D. 22, presented Tiberius with shields of Clemency and Moderation - an act of which an echo is preserved in the pages of Tacitus - and that, the formal but well-earned honour once conferred, the Senate proceeded by means of their coinage to call wide public attention to the imperial virtues which their ceremonial action had just recognised."

Providentia is the personification of the ability to foresee and to make provision for the future. This ability was considered essential for the emperor and providentia was among the embodiments of virtues that were part of the imperial cult. Cicero said that providentia, memoria (memory) and intellegentia (understanding) are the three main components of prudentia, the knowledge what is good or bad or neither.RS87781.
