Sextus Anicius Paulinus

Sextus Anicius Paulinus (fl. 325–333) was an aristocrat of the Roman Empire. The offices he is known to have held were: Proconsul of Africa; consul with Julius Julianus as his colleague in 325; and praefectus urbi between 331 and 333.

A member of the gens Anicia, his father was probably Anicius Faustus and his brother was Amnius Anicius Julianus (consul of 322); Amnius Anicius Paulinus was probably his son or his grandson,^[1] or the son of his brother.^[2] Perhaps he is to be identified with that Anicius who was the first senator of that lineage to publicly convert to Christianity.
