Lobus Caecilius
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Caecilius was a man who lived in Pompeii before Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. 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 us spared from the devastation of Pompeii by the timely intervention of the Doctor. By early 80 A.D., Caecilius and his family have resettled in Rome. (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.
