Metella, wife of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus and mother of Quintus Caecilius Iucundus and Caecilia Evelina, was a woman who lived in Pompeii in A.D. 79. She was the most religiously devout of her family: she urged her son to pray to their household gods, and encouraged her daughter's psychic gift as a gift from the gods. Like her family, Metella was rescued from Pompeii shortly before the city was buried under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius' explosion. By early A.D. 80, she and her family were living in Rome. Metella, religious as ever, was worshipping a new set of household gods: the Tenth Doctor and Donna. (DW: The Fires of Pompeii)
Behind the scenes
- The Caecilius family (Caecilius, Metella and Quintus) were based on--or at least named after--characters used in Latin textbooks, except for Evelina, who was created by James Moran so she could be a member of the Sibylline Sisterhood.
