This site here might be useful for the anagram (does 8 languages including Latin).
If it helps, the anagram is 3 words and comes from a famous book.

hi guys
cant believe i won!!!!
Took me ages to find all my answers and was up most the night but was well worth it as i had hardly any silvers so this should boost my deck to finish season on im esp glad to have the two rare discontinued cards riemann and relativity as i thought i would never get them in a million years!
And lastly Barney you are a star fella and as soon as season two starts you can have all my spares that you need, i doubt whether u will need to buy any as everyone on this topic will prob buy you some to show how grateful they are.
Steve

Yep well done Steve you mus thave put a lot of work in to get so many correct answers.
The website is up but even if you narrow it down to 3 words you still have 2777 answers. Translating that page into english give you this:
Few possible but nothing looks like the right answer.
Checked wikipedia and wikiquote for famous quotes with searching for ones with q in them. Still not able to get it. So another one I cant get

I checked earlier, it is there, it and its 2,776 companions are staring you in the face! Maybe there aren't 2,777 famous latin books, so find the famous books you know first - there can't be many? Looking for q's isn't going to narrow it down, "que" means "and" when tacked onto the end of a word, so is going to appear in almost everything.

ramsfan has indeed got the latin answer, but the question was "who am i?" and I have yet to receive a satisfactory answer for that. Hopefully ramsfan will supply before anyone else slips in.

Ramsfan has supplied the correct answer and wins this prizeless, but kudos-heavy puzzle. Good work! If you want to solve it yourself, look to ramsfan's clues.

Just to wrap this up, the letters anagram to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ARMA VIRUMQUE CANO
These are the opening words of the Aeneid, the great Roman epic. They mean "I sing of arms and the man", so I am the author, Virgil.
Could I ask everyone to be speedy with their prize selections so we can get this finished. If you are too long in selecting I may have to push you to the bottom of the queue.

Of course, now I look at this thread after the lovely latin puzzle is over - I had to memorize and recite something along the lines of the first 60-80 lines of the beginning to recite for Latin IV back when I was in middle school. Fun times.
