1.) Paulinus was now looked upon as one of the first generals of the time, and while in Britain he was regarded by the people as the rival of Corbulo in military glory.
When Valens, the other general of Vitellius, had joined his forces to those of Caecina, Paulinus strongly recommended Otho not to risk a battle ; but his advice was overruled, and the result was the defeat at Bedriacum, and the ruin of Otho's cause.
He fell into the hands of Vitellius, and obtained his par­don by pleading, says Tacitus, " the necessary but not honourable excuse," that the defeat of Otho's army was owing to his treachery ; for which self-accusation, however, there was certainly no foun­dation.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.05.05
What Paulinus seems to add is the sense that the letter not only put one in communion with the correspondent but extended outside of the correspondence to put one in communion with the absent Christ and reinforced both author's and addressee's spiritual connection through their Christian faith.
In addition, Paulinus prefers an associative rather than strictly linear narrative logic, because it is through the juxtaposition of images that he is best able to represent the paradoxes that are intrinsic to Christian rhetoric.
Like his classical predecessors, Paulinus employed intertextual reference as a means of expanding meaning, but, suggests C., "the difference seems to lie in the expected psychology of reading: the sense of the text, not as an end in itself, but as a conduit, however imperfect, of a truth that lies beyond the textual" (115-116).

 The Roman Invasion of Anglesey - March upon the Island,
Divided from mainland Britain by the treacherous waters of what is now known as the Menai Straits, Paulinus was faced with not only crushing the Celts and their religious leaders on Anglesey – he also had to get his army across.
Paulinus had brought with him not only his legions, but also ballistae – catapults capable of throwing flaming missiles up to 2000 feet; onagers – that hurled boulders or small bags of stones - all the machinery of invasion that had been used successfully throughout Europe.
Paulinus knew the opposition was made up of lightly armed tribesmen, including refugees, whose armour was non-existent and who did not have the battlefield support he and his army possessed.

The inscription is dedicated to Tiberius Claudius Paulinus, who had been commandant of the Second Augustan Legion at Caerleon, a post he held during the reign of Caracalla (211-17).
Paulinus evidently performed some helpful act or made some gift to the Silures, and in return they honoured him with the erection of a statue and a record of his career.
The Caerwent stone does not record Paulinus' governorship of Britannia lnferior and it may be presumed, therefore, that it was set up a short time before he took up the post.

Now, however, Britain was in the hands of Suetonius Paulinus, who in military knowledge and in popular favour, which allows no one to be without a rival, vied with Corbulo, and aspired to equal the glory of the recovery of Armenia by the subjugation of Rome's enemies.
He was heading for a confontation with the druids on Anglesey when the Iceni and their neighbours the Trinovantes were incited to revolt by queen Boudicca and went on the rampage in south-east England, sacking the colonia at Colchester, the municipium of Saint Alban's and the thriving port and administrative centre at London.
This forced Paulinus to retreat back to the Midlands where he eventually defeated Boudicca's forces near Mancetter.

This paper will examine the exchange of epistles and poems between Ausonius and Paulinus as a privileged place for reflection on the intertextual character of Latin literature, and in particular on the relationship between intertextuality and epistolarity.
Questions arise, though, relating to the "epistolarity" of the correspondence, and to how and to what extent the intertextual preoccupations of the poems can be accommodated to their epistolary nature.
On one hand, the fact that the same kind of intertextuality appears to operate in the texts of both authors directs towards eliminating generic distinctions between them and regarding them as a unit, the only way in which the intertextual dialogue can be fully grasped and appreciated in its entirety.

 Boudica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 60 or 61, while the current governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was leading a campaign against the island of Anglesey in north Wales, which was a refuge for British rebels and a stronghold of the druids, the Iceni conspired with their neighbours the Trinovantes, amongst others, to revolt.
He was a military tribune under Suetonius Paulinus, which almost certainly gave Tacitus an eyewitness source for Boudica's revolt.
He is generally agreed to have based his account on that of Tacitus, but he simplifies the sequence of events and adds details, such as the calling in of loans, that Tacitus does not mention.
