Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos (consul 98 BC)

Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos[1] (c. 135 BC – 55 BC[citation needed]) was a senator and consul.

[3] He was elected consul in 98 BC with Titus Didius as his colleague.

[4][5] During his consulship, he brought legislation, the leges Caeciliae-Didiae,[2] which required bills brought before the assemblies to have only one topic and mandated that three market days must elapse between a bill's presentation and a vote thereon.

Metellus Nepos married Licinia Prima, after she had divorced the Pontifex Maximus Quintus Mucius Scaevola, with whom she had a daughter Mucia Tertia.

Licinia and Metellus Nepos had two children:[citation needed] This article about an ancient Roman politician is a stub.
