Well I've heard of him. But I suspect you greatly overestimate the importance of dead Romans to contemporary programmers. It is no doubt possible to be a good, English speaking programmer, without knowing anything much about the Roman empire and its inhabitants, if you come from the east Asia for instance. Even for those from the West, there are cultures which do not rate Ancient Rome as so significant that it is necessary for an educated person to be familiar with Cato the Elder's most famous phrase, whatever it may be.
