Vergil is the actual Roman spelling of his name.

If you want to be picky, it's Publius Vergilius Maro.

Virgil is the more typical English spelling:

I really should have got Leonidas, thats quite shameful... Only 16% for Herodotus? My Ancient History teacher would not let me forget that he was the Father of History
