Quintus Caecilius' name is known from an electoral notice painted onto his family home, the House of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus, in which he expressed support for the candidacy of Ceius Secundus for duumvir. The same inscription records the name of his brother, Sextus, of whom nothing else is known: Sextus is believed to have been the younger of the two. It is possible that Quintus held the cognomen Metellus, as did his brother, apparently granted by their father to suggest a connection with the prestigious Caecilii Metelli. Since Caecilius' banking business appears to have been abandoned on his likely death in AD 62, it is considered likely that Quintus and Sextus did not follow their father into the profession.
