Career

  • Senator - Office Unknown before 42 (Hinard 1985)
  • Officer (Title Not Preserved) 31 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • A praetorius who saved his father, an Antonian supporter and a prisoner after Actium at Samos (App. BC 4.42). (Broughton MRR II Appendix 2)
    • Father and son. The father, an officer (#) under M. Antonius at Actium, was saved by the appeal of his son, who had been an officer there under Octavian (#, App. BC 4.42). As Appian means had commanded rather than had been a praetor in this context, the praetor of uncertain date, MRR 2.463, and Index, should be deleted. Mommsen suggests that the father may have been the M. Metellus who gave a gladiatorial show in 60 (Att. 2.1.1) and the son possibly Caecilius M. f. Metellus, pr. urb., procos. Sardiniae, named in CIL 10.7581 (EE 3.14). (TJC)[35x] (Broughton MRR III)
