 The followers of Romulus were called the "Quinctilii" or "Quinctiliani", while those of Remus were the "Fabii" or "Fabiani".In historic times, the two colleges of priests, known as "Luperci", who carried out the sacred rituals of the Lupercalia, were known by these names, suggesting that in the earliest times, the gentes Quinctilia and Fabia superintended these rites as a "sacrum gentilicium".Another example of such responsibilities concerned the Pinarii and the Potitii, who maintained the worship of Hercules.
