DiNozzo looks at her, surprised at her. He thinks for a second that she will mock and butcher his name, as he has been doing with McGee's, but he is surprised when she, instead, gives him a history lesson.
"Anthony is the English form of the Roman family name Antonius, which is of unknown Etruscan origins. However, somehow it officially appeared in the history books thanks to the most notable family member of this family, Marcus Antonius, who ruled the Roman Empire jointly with Augustus," she frowns, "sometime later on, the relationship between the two Caesars became strained, and he and his mistress, Cleopatra, were forced to commit suicide."
"However, up until this day, plays, songs, poems immortalize the genius of the man and statesman that he was. Thanks to the Roman Empire, we have access to math, physics, theology, philosophy. Actually, most of our culture is directly or indirectly related to the works and wars of those two great Caesars.
