Metellus
6. L. Caecilius Metellus Calvus, Q. F. L. N., brother of No. 5, was consul B. C. 142 with Q. Fabius Maximus Servilianus. All that is recorded of this Metellus is that he bore testimony, along with his brother Macedonicus, against Q. Pompeius, the consul of B. C. 141, when he was accused of extortion. (Oros. 5.4; Obsequ. 81; Cic. Att. 12.5.3, pro Font. 7; V. Max. 8.5.1.)
