Et tu, Robertus?
"Casca" was Publius Servilius Casca Longus, a Roman politician whose dubious distinction was that he was the first assassin to deliver a stab wound to Julius Caesar. He died by his own hand a coupla years later, about 42 BC.
I've been unable to readily find a translation of "Casca" (not a first name in this context), but Nanaea, with the massed information resources of Adam Clayton Powell Middle School at her fingertips :), will undoubtedly be more enlightening.

I knew you'd like to get this one, Daividh. :) As to the meaning of "Casca", it comes from the ancient Oscan language -- which predates Latin, and means "old". The Osci, like the Etruscans, were one of the tribes that inhabited Italy before the Romans came into power.
