Image Title: Pope Anacletus I
Description: An image of Anacletus I, or Cletus, traditionally held to be the third Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and Bishop of Rome (r. 79-88 CE). He is included in this portion, between Popes Clement I and Evaristus, because Anacletus and Cletus were previously thought to be two different men. Now, the consensus is that the two names refer to the same person. He wears a pallium and is depicted with a nimbus; to the left is a blank coat of arms with the papal triple tiara on above.
