Marcus Caecilius Metellus was a name used by some men of the ''gens Caecilia'' during the Roman Republic, including: * Marcus Caecilius Metellus, a praetor in 206 BC. * Marcus Caecilius Metellus, a consul in 115 BC. * Marcus Caecilius Metellus, a praetor in 69 BC who presided over the ''quaestio de repetundis'', a standing tribunal of senatorial ''iudices'' (juror-judges) for investigating and deciding cases of extortion.〔George Mousourakis, ''The Historical and Institutional Context of Roman Law'' (Ashgate, 2003), p. 224.〕 Verres, who was prosecuted by Cicero, had hoped to have his trial postponed until Caecilius Metellus was presiding over the court.〔Cicero, ''In Verrem'' 1.21, 23, 26–31; Pseudo-Asconius 212–215 and 215 (edition of Stangl; ''Schol. Gron.'' 337 and 350 (Stangl); T.R.S. Broughton, ''The Magistrates of the Roman Republic'' (American Philological Association, 1952), vol. 2, pp. 131–132.〕 ''Marcus'' was less frequent as a ''praenomen'' for the Caecilii Metelli than ''Lucius'' or especially ''Quintus.'' ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcus Caecilius Metellus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
