- Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos Iunior
Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos Iunior (c. 100 BC – 55 BC) was a son of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos. He was a Tribune in 63 BC, a Praetor in 60 BC, a Consul in 57 BC and the Governor of Hispania Citerior in 56 BC.
He was, as his brother Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer, Lieutenant of Pompeius Magnum at the campaigns of Asia and against the pirates, from 67 BC to 63 BC. On his return to Rome, in 62 BC, he was elected Tribune of the Plebeians, along with Marcus Portius Cato, having done then a violent campaign against Cicero, whom he accused before the People and the Senate of illegally having given death to the accomplices of Catilina.
He also proposed, jointly with Caesar, that Pompeius Magnus was recalled to Rome with his Army to restore the legal order, but such proposal was rejected.
In 60 BC he was elected Praetor, and Consul in 58 BC and 57 BC, having then reconciled with Cicero, at the time exiled, to oppose Clodius, managing with his influence that the celebrated Orator was called from the banishment to which he had been condemned by that turbulent relative of his.
In 56 BC he was nominated Governor of Hispania Citerior, dominating A Coruña, where the Vaccaei had defeated his father.
