Roman Caesar Salad or Mexican Caesar Salad?

Who knew? I always thought that the Caesar Salad dated back to Roman times. Here's what I found:
Caesar Salad
In the 1920s, Caesar Cardini, owner of an Italian restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, and his brother, Alex, invented a salad of romaine lettuce, anchovies, coddled egg, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic-flavored croutons tossed with a garlic vinaigrette flavored with Worcestershire sauce. At first it was called Aviator's Salad, but later Cardini named the dish after himself.
True or false?
