Comment: The situation is more complicated than a hoax. I have written a short explanation & a much longer one for why this article needs to be deleted.{{pb}}The short version: This article is a mess, even without the material copied from the consul of 57 BC. Searching thru Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton's ''Magistrates of the Roman Republic'' (vol. 2), I was unable to find any plebeian tribune with the name of Q. Caecilius Metellus. Further, another source gives the filiation for Q. Caecilius Metellus Creticus Silanus as "Q.f.M.n." (son of Quintus, grandson of Marcus), so the claimed parentage in this article is wrong. And if this person existed, were he the son of a notable person & the father of another, |notability is not inherited
