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: Thank you.
gollark: It should work. This is inexcusable. If this continues I may be forced to do a neck transplant.
gollark: Also, this spare phone keeps running out of RAM and Discord keeps using 12-hour time somehow.
gollark: Mostly fine, although for some odd reason my neck hurts slightly if I turn it left.
