One question about the son of Aemilia Paulla Secunda, Quintus Aelius Tubero <Consul 117>. Is it correct? Consuls in 117BC were Lucius Caecilius Metellus Diadematus and Quintus Mucius Scaevola Augur and "Consul Quintus Aelius Tubero" appears in 11BC, from the list in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_Consuls#2nd_century_BC). The birth year of Aemilia Secunda cannot be later than 181BC from her younger half-brothers'birth years, therefore 117BC is realistic for the son of Aemilia to be a consul, however 11BC is reasonable for her grandson. I have no materials to check this. Please confirm.Yu8330 (talk) 08:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The identity of the sculpture assocated with this article is the subject of much speculation but has never to my knowledge been positively confirmed as Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus. It is presently described as "The Hellenistic Prince" at Brindisi's Provincial Archaeological Museum. It seems very misleading to for the caption to say "Bronze sculpture identified as Lucius Aemilius Paullus, circa 167 B.C." - and not just because there seems to be a lack of supporting evidence. Lucius Aemilius Paullus and Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus were different people. They were father and son. Ljredux (talk) 13:51, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
