Gaius Caecilius Metellus

His identity is inferred from the filiation of his possible grandson, Lucius Caecilius Metellus, consul in 251 and 247 BC. The latter's filiation is given as "L. f. C. n.", the son of Lucius and grandson of Gaius. In this case, the consul's grandfather would have been Gaius Caecilius Metellus.
