Translation from http://attalus.org/docs/cil/elogia.html#10.809

Romulus, son of Mars. He founded the city of Rome, and reigned there for 38 years. He was the first general to dedicate the spolia opima to Jupiter Feretrius, after killing the enemy general Acro, king of the Caeninenses. He was accepted among the gods, and was given the name Quirinus.
