Rómulo takes to the temple of Jupiter the arms of the defeated Acrón, of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1812), School of Fine Arts (Paris) The temple of Jupiter Feretrio (Latin: Aedes Iuppiter Feretrius) was the first temple to be built in Rome (the second was Etruscan and came to be known as Jupiter's Temple Great Maximus). Its location is uncertain but is thought to have been located on Capitoline Hill.

It was said to have been dedicated to the god Jupiter by Romulus after beating Achron, king of the Ceninenses, in 752-751 BC. C. The origin of the epithet Feretrio is confused and could be related to one of two Latin verbs: ferire (being able to mean "the one that strikes", since the spolia opima was offered there); or ferre (taking the meaning of "the one to whom it takes [the spolia opima]").
