The Caecilii Metellii was one of the most important and wealthiest families in the Roman Republic. Although plebeians (meaning not of patrician stock — the Caecilii Metelli were nobles) the Caecilii Metellii remained a political power within the state, since 3rd century BC to the end of the Republic, holding every office in the cursus honorum as well as several important military commands.
