Paullinus was suffect consul in the nundinium of September to December 107 as the colleague of Gaius Julius Longinus.
[1] Ronald Syme has strongly suggested that Paullinus is the son of the identically named Gaius Valerius Paulinus, procurator of Gallia Narbonensis.
[9] While Pliny was serving as procurator in Bithynia et Pontus, reviewing the finances of that Senatorial province at Trajan's request, he wrote the emperor for a favor involving Paullinus.
In his will, Paullinus had asked that some of his freedmen, who had been informally emancipated, and thus were Junian Latins, be granted full citizenship on his death.
"[10] These letters between Pliny and Trajan provide us a date for Valerius Paullinus' death, around AD 112.
