Since interest has rapidly waned, I'll tell you that the gentleman in question is:
Marcus Porcius Cato (234-149 BC), quaestor, aedile, praetor, and finally consul of Rome.
Also known as Cato the Elder and Cato the Censor, and sometimes as Cato the uptight grumpy frustrated puritanical bastard with a huge chip on his shoulder.
His middle name is indeed Porcius, which translates roughly as Piggy, and which was a respectable name back then. Yep, Mark Piggy Cato. No wonder he was grumpy.
