Consuls

Q
Q. Caecilius Metellus Celer (cos. 60)
4 magistracies , aged 44 at this time
Go to term

Broughton: Cicero considered Afranius ineffective (a). Metellus as Consul-Designate and as Consul opposed the measures desired by Pompey, and also the demands of the companies of publicans for remission of their contracts for the taxes of Asia, and carried his opposition to the Pompeian Tribune Flavius to the point of being haled to prison (b). He opposed the attempts of his brother-in-law Clodius to transfer himself to the Plebs (c). The Consuls were assigned the two Gallic provinces by special decree of the Senate in March, 60, Metellus probably receiving Transalpine, and Afranius, Cisalpine, Gaul (d), but the Tribune Flavius threatened to take Metellus' province from him, and probably carried out his threat; at any rate Metellus died suddenly before April, 59, without leaving the city (e). See Broughton, TAPhA 79 (1948) 73-76.

Brougthon: His agrarian law, intended to provide land for Pompey's veterans from public land and from purchases of land with the new revenues, was supported by Cicero with amendments designed to protect present possessors, but was so sternly opposed by the conservatives, including the Consul, Metellus Celer, that it failed of passage (a).
