Lucius Caecilius Metellus (gest. 221 v. Chr.) war im Jahr 251 und 247 v. Chr. Konsul der römischen Republik und besiegte auf Sizilien den karthagischen Feldhern Hasdrubal, von welchem er in Panormus angegriffen wurde. Er erbeutete die Elefanten, die er 250 v. Chr. in Rom im Triumph zur Schau stellte. Hierauf mag die Prunkplakette Bezug nehmen, die auf seiner Brust prankt. Sie zeigt einen nach rechts gerichteten Elefanten, von einem Lorbeerkranz umringt. Seinen Hals schmückt eine Gliederkette, die über die Brust gleitet, und ein Spitzenkragen, der den Saum des Gewandes markiert und von einem reich gefältetem und verbrämtem Umhang flankiert wird. Auf konisch zulaufendem und gekantetem rot-weiß geädertem Marmorsockel.
