10. The wife of Maximin, by insinuating wise counsels with
female gentleness, sometimes brought back the tyrant to the
way of truth and humanity. See Ammianus Marcellinus,1. xiv.
c. 1, where he alludes to the fact which he had more fully
related under the reign of the Gordians. We may collect from
the medals, that Paullina was the name of this benevolent
empress: and from the title of Diva, that she died before
Maximin. (Valesius ad loc cit. Ammian.) Spanheim de U. et P.
