Caecilius was a man who lived in Pompeii before Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79. Husband of Metella and father to Evelina and Quintus, Caecilius was a marble trader with political ambitions: it was to impress Lucius Petrus Dextrus, high priest of the Cult of Vulcan, that he bought the Doctor's TARDIS at the market, intending to display it as "modern art".
Along with his family, Caecilius is spared from the devastation of Pompeii by the timely intervention of the Doctor. By early A.D. 80, Caecilius and his family have resettled in Rome, and have adopted the Doctor and Donna as their household gods. (DW: The Fires of Pompeii)
Behind the Scenes
- The Caecilius family (Caecilius, Metella and Quintus) were based upon characters used in Latin textbooks, except for Evelina, who was created by James Moran so she could be a member of the Sibylline Sisterhood.
