sepulchre was not erected in her honor until the reign of the Roman emperor Nero. Reputation Paulina is mentioned in Natural History by Pliny the Elder. Pliny the Elder mentions Paulina as an example of Roman ostentation for wearing a large share of her inheritance to a dinner party in the form of jewellery worth to the value of 50 million sesterces. She would wear her jewels in her hair, round her neck, arms and fingers. The complaint of Pliny the Elder was made in the context of Rome spending enormous amounts for importing Ancient India's 'useless' pepper and pearls, as worn by Paulina even around her shoes. In fiction Paulina is a character in the novel series, I, Claudius written by Robert Graves. References Sources Suetonius, The Twelve Caesars Tacitus, Annales E. Groag, A. Stein & L. Petersen - e.a.
