Tiberius Claudius Paulinus

Tiberius Claudius Paulinus was a Roman general and politician of the early third century.

The earliest office Paulinus held was legatus or commander of Legio II Augusta at Caerleon.

He returned to Roman Britain where he served as legatus Augusti pro praetor of Britannia Inferior in 220.

While he was away governing Gaul, the Silures tribe set up an official monument, the Marble of Thorigny dedicated to him despite their usual hostility to Rome.

This monument includes the text of a letter Paulinus sent to his friend, Sennius Sollemnis.
