Publius Cluvius Maximus Paullinus (died AD 157 or 158) was a Roman senator, who held a number of imperial appointments during the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius.
[2] He began his career as a member of the quattuorviri viarum curandarum, or overseer of the streets and public places of Rome, one of the magistracies that comprised the vigintiviri; membership in one of these four boards was a preliminary and required first step toward a gaining entry into the Roman Senate.
[3] The next office listed on the inscription from Labicum is sevir equitum Romanorum, or the official presiding over the annual review of the equites in Rome.
If the dates Alföldy provides are correct, then he might have been legatus to Gaius Julius Severus consul in Achaea, and to Quintus Coredius Gallus Gargilius Antiquus in Asia.
[5] After he returned to Rome, Paullinus received a commission to command Legio XIV Gemina, then stationed at Carnuntum; Alföldy dates his service from about the year 138 to 141, succeeding Titus Caesernius Statianus consul in 141.
[6] Paullinus then was appointed curator viae Flaminiae; Alföldy dates his tenure overseeing maintenance of that road immediately following his command of the XIV Gemina, from about the year 141 to 143, succeeding Lucius Aemilius Carus consul in 144.
