B C | V Kal. | VI.791-794, the anniversary of the consecration of the sanctuary of the Lares, and the temple of Jupiter Sator.
Lucifero subeunte Lares delubra tulerunt
hic, ubi fit docta multa corona manu.
tempus idem Stator aedis habet, quam Romulus olim
ante Palatini condidit ora iugi.
791 Next morn the Lares were given a sanctuary on the spot where many a wreath is twined by deft hands. At the same time was built the temple of Jupiter Stator, which Romulus of old founded in front of the Palatine hill.1

In a battle between Romans and Sabines, the Romans were driven back; but Romulus prayed Jupiter to stay their flight, and vowed a temple in case of success to Jupiter the Stayer, which he afterwards built on the spot (Livy i. 12).
