III. 3. infra).—
II Any goal or winning-post, the mark, goal, in any contest of speed: optatam cursu contingere metam, of a footrace, Hor. A. P. 412: metam tenere, in a boatrace, Verg. A. 5, 159.—
2 Trop. (because of the danger to drivers of striking the goal, and breaking their oars), a critical point, place of danger: fama adulescentis paulum haesit ad metas, notitiā novā mulieris, broke down, failed, at the critical point, Cic. Cael. 31.—
III Transf., an end, period, extremity, boundary, limit: longarum haec meta viarum, Verg. A. 3, 714: ad metas aevi pervenire, id. ib. 10, 472: metam tangere vitae, Ov.

Div. 2, 6, 17 (but v. 3. below, fin. and the passage there cited from Pliny): sol ex aequo metā distabat utrāque, equally far from both ends of his course, i. e. at noon, Ov. M. 3, 145: intercalariis mensibus interponendis ita dispensavit (Numa), ut vices uno anno ad metam eandem solis unde orsi essent ... dies congruerent, Liv. 1, 19, 6 Weissenb. ad loc.: metae Marsicae, = fines Marsorum, Mart. Cap. 4, § 331 Kapp: pares horarum metas, tam antemeridialium quam postremarum, manifestant, id. 6, § 600.—
2 A turning-point in one's course: praestat Trinacrii metas lustrare Pachyni, to sail around the promontory of Pachynus, Verg. A. 3, 429.—
3 Of any thing resembling in shape the meta of the Circus; any thing of a conical or pyramidal form, a cone, pyramid (class.); of a conical hill: ipse collis est in modum metae, in acutum cacumen a fundo satis lato fastigatus, Liv. 37, 27: buxus in metas emittitur, into cones, Plin. 16, 16, 28, § 70: in metas foenum exstruere, in ricks, haycocks, Col. 2, 18, 2: lactantes, conical cheeses, Mart. 1, 44, 7: lactis, id. 3, 58, 35: meta sudans, a conical stone on a fountain, dripping with water, Sen.
