Amnius Anicius Paulinus


Amnius Anicius Paulinus, full name Amnius Manius Caesonius Nicomachus Anicius Paulinus Honorius was a politician of the Roman Empire.

Biography

Paulinus was the son of Amnius Anicius Julianus, consul in 322, and the nephew of Sextus Anicius Faustus Paulinus, consul in 325. He was thus a member of the gens Anicia.
Paulinus was consul in 334 and praefectus urbi of Rome in 334–335. In 334 he erected an equestrian statue to emperor Constantine I in the Roman Forum; a statue was dedicated to him in the Forum of Trajan, whose inscription celebrates Paulinus for "his high birth, his eloquence, his fairness, and his good judgment, for which he is renowned in private and in public".

Family

has tried to reconstruct Paulinus' familial bonds. According to Settipani, Paulinus was married to Pincia or, better, to Auchenia. His wife was perhaps the daughter of Pincius and wife Caeionia, in turn perhaps the daughter of Caeionius Proculus, suffect consul of Rome in 289, and wife Alfenia Juliana.
They were perhaps the parents of Anicius Auchenius Bassus, praefectus urbi of Rome in 382.
