PROD removal[edit]

PROD concern stated as "This woman did not exist. She is not in the Realencyclopadie, not in Broughton, nor in any reliable source of the period I could find. She seems to come from Colleen McCullough's novel Fortune's Favourite." The academic references I have added quote original sources which say that she did indeed exist.

The references you added refer to the "real" daughter of Balearicus, who was also the mother of Clodius Pulcher. She had a dream while pregnant, so she could not have been a vestal virgin. There is no source mentioning a Caecilia Metella as vestal. I'm putting back the PROD tag. I moved the references you added to the other article on Caecilia Metella.
