the name of several Roman females, was merely another form of Paulla, like Clodius of Claudius.
1. The wife of D. Brutus, one of the murderers of Caesar. Cicero calls her simply Polla (ad Fam. 11.8), but we learn from a letter of Caelius (ad Fam. 8.7) that her full name was Paulla Valeria. She was a sister of the C. Valerius Triarius, who was tribune of the plebs B. C. 51, and who subsequently served in the civil war in Pompey's fleet. She divorced her husband, whose name is not mentioned, in B. C. 50, without being able to give any reason for so doing, and then married D. Brutus (ad Fam. 8.7).
2. The mother of L. Gellius Publicola. (D. C. 47.24, where the manuscripts have Palla.)
3. The sister of M. Agrippa. (D. C. 4.8.)
4. Acerronia Polla, the friend of Agrippina, is spoken of under Acerronia.
5. Vespasia Polla, the daughter of Vespasius Pollio, and the mother of the emperor Vespasian. (Suet. Vesp. l.)
6. Argentaria Polla, the wife of the poet Lucan. (Stat. Silv. 2.7. 62, &c.; Martial, 7.21, 23, 10.64.)
