Aconia Fabia Paulina[1] (died c. 384) was an aristocratic Roman woman, the daughter of Aconius Catullinus Philomatius, who was consul in 349.
Paulina was the daughter of Aconius Catullinus Philomatius, a prominent aristocrat who held the offices of Praefectus urbi of Rome in 342-344 and was Consul in 349.
In 344, Paulina married Vettius Agorius Praetextatus, a prominent exponent of the Roman senatorial aristocracy, an important imperial officer and a member of several pagan circles; Paulina was initiated into the Eleusinian mysteries and to the Lernian mysteries of Dionysus and Demeter, was devoted to several female deities, such as Ceres, Hecate (of whom she was hierophant), the Magna Mater (as a tauroboliata) and Isis.
The first was on the Esquiline Hill, probably situated between via Merulana and viale del Monte Oppio in Rome, where the modern Palazzo Brancaccio stands (41°53′39.83″N 12°29′59.09″E / 41.8943972°N 12.4997472°E / 41.8943972; 12.4997472).
The garden around the palace, the so-called Horti Vettiani,[2] extended to the modern Roma Termini railway station.
