The famous 'I'm Spartacus' scene from the 1960 film, in which every slave stands up to claim to be Spartacus to protect him from the Romans.

Used as a pop-culture reference, usually as a joke about everyone sharing the same identity or name.

I guess that would be 'homonymity' instead of 'pseudonymity' or 'anonymity' . If everyone uses the same name, 'Spartacus' would be a good choice. ▶ this video
