Lucius Caecilius Metellus Calvus
Lucius Caecilius Metellus Calvus (c. 200 BC or before 178 BC – after 136 BC) was a Roman statesman. He was a son of Quintus Caecilius Metellus and brother of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus. First Calvus used to be a Praetor, later a Consul and Governor of Hispania in 142 BC, where he fought, without success, against Viriathus, then he became a Proconsul of Cisalpine Gaul in 141 BC, and from 140 BC to 139 he was a Legate. Also during those years, Calvus participated in an embassy to some Eastern states.[1]
Children
Calvus' children were:
- Lucius Caecilius Metellus Dalmaticus
- Quintus Caecilius Metellus Numidicus
- Caecilia Metella, wife of Lucius Licinius Lucullus, son of Lucius Licinius Lucullus
He might also have been, with more certainty, the father of another Caecilius Metellus, the father of Quintus Caecilius Metellus.

gollark: Still, I think that trying to use CC without programming anything... kind of defeats the point of using CC.
gollark: Well, that seems somewhat more useful than other OSes I guess?
gollark: It's not tied into THOR though.
