That's what I was wondering earlier. We don't call the other guys Mark Agrippa, Mark Crassus or Mark Aurelius. It just seems like that with Marcus Antonius.

I'm inclined to blame Shakespeare; Mark Antony fits better into meter in terms of potential placement and not hogging up space than the alternative

If you're wondering about the usage of Latin "Papa" for the Pope, don't just Google "Latin Papa." And while are you are not Googling that, make a special point of not Googling it at work.
