  • $\begingroup$ At mention of the pizza topping, I was gonna say Rot13(Byvire) where you can drop the first or last letter for some pizza topping (the first being associated with Rot13(puvpxra)). Unfortunately, [the origin of] this name doesn't fit the other lines. Nice riddle, though! $(+1)$ :D $\endgroup$ – Mr Pie Aug 26 '18 at 7:23
  • $\begingroup$ Xavier, is the name not the one given by this answer (or the first name specifically)? Not sure if this bounty is still available to be claimed $\endgroup$ – El-Guest Sep 3 '18 at 19:46

    $\begingroup$ Sorry, the first name is correct. Forgetting to mark the check is a bit of a bad habit. $\endgroup$ – Xavier Stanton Sep 4 '18 at 14:55

Is the answer:

Oliver Cromwell?

I ban Christmas for a religious reason

Being a puritan

I am given torque for some anti-semitic treason

Signed the death warrant for Charles the first

Drop the last letter for a pizza topping not seen

Oliver to olive

Of Latin is where this bole name hit the scene

On a coin, there was a Latin inscription translating to: Oliver, by the Grace of God of the Republic of England, Scotland and Ireland etc. Protector

Purely from the first clue I think it's

Oliver Cromwell, because he famously did this.
