No one is reading "Markus Antonius" and pronouncing it as "Marc Anthony". A few historical figures have Anglicized names for whatever reasons, so we use those.

- robocat 5y agoThat is some Latin name translation thing. Christopher Columbus (EN), Cristóbal Colón (ES), Christophe Colomb (FR), and Cristoforo Colombo (IT) are all Christophorus Columbus (his original Latin name). Edit: the same things happen with Ancient Greek names - one person has different spellings and pronunciations in different languages — look up 荷马 or ソクラテス.
