A sideways pun (via ‘veterinary’) on the name of the famous de Medici family, who were the enlightened rulers of Renaissance Florence.

During one of those interminable “which actor should play which Discworld character if there was a movie?” discussions, Terry gave some insight in how he himself visualises the Patrician:

“I can’t remember the guy’s name, but I’ve always pictured the Patrician as looking like the father in Beetlejuice — the man also played the Emperor of Austria in Amadeus. And maybe slightly like the head bad guy in Die Hard.”

The actors Terry is thinking of are Jeffrey Jones and Alan Rickman, respectively.
