Metella is a character in the first book of Cambridge Latin Course but she is based on a real citizen in Pompeii around AD 79. She does not have a big role in the book but does at times feature greatly. Like her husband Caecilius, she perishes in the aftermath of the Mount Vesuvius eruption, leaving her son, Quintus, parentless. Metella acts very coldly around the slave girl Melissa, as Melissa 'pleases' Grumio, her cook, and, more importantly, her husband.

- Metella is a character in the first book of Cambridge Latin Course but she is based on a real citizen in Pompeii around AD 79. She does not have a big role in the book but does at times feature greatly. Like her husband Caecilius, she perishes in the aftermath of the Mount Vesuvius eruption, leaving her son, Quintus, parentless. Metella acts very coldly around the slave girl Melissa, as Melissa 'pleases' Grumio, her cook, and, more importantly, her husband. Later in the book she reconciles with Melissa; after Melissa was belittled by Grumio and Clemens for rearranging objects in the house. Metella comforts the tearful Melissa, reassuring her that she has talents, and that she is the only one that can dress her (Metella) as she desires it.
