Caecilia Paulina

Caecilia Paulina († later than 236) was the wife of the Roman Emperor Maximinus Thrax.

From Paulina almost nothing is known, but came apparently from senatorial home. She is apparently while if not already deceased before the reign of Maximinus, but no later than the year 236, when it was consecrated as a Diva Caecilia Paulina Pia Augusta and honored with coins.

Supposedly let Maximinus Paulina executed because she wanted soothingly act on their " tyrannical " husband. But this may be just a rumor. Her son was raised to Caesar Maximus.
