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 perishs in the aftermath of the Mount Vesuvius eruption, leaving her son, Quintus, parentless.
