He was tied to an anchor and thrown into the sea
Answer
According to tradition, Clement faced a brutal execution. He was tied to an anchor, a heavy object traditionally used to keep ships in place, and then mercilessly thrown into the depths of the sea. This method of execution ensured that Clement's body would be submerged and lost, preventing proper burial or the creation of a shrine that might attract veneration.
