Rome, like Carthage, was a girl. Roma.
I figure that Romulus is something like a male diminutive of Roma.
Caligula means little soldier's boot, and Dracula means little dragon. (Caliga was the hobnailed sandal that the Miles wore.) Regulus actually means little king. (rex, regis) (Ooh. Little King's Story and the story of Regulus. Look at the game on the LP Archive. Whereas, Regulus got rolled down a hill in a spike lined barrel.)
I've a theory that Janus used to be the chief deity and war deity of the Romans. That Romulus was added to the history prior to Numa when they altered their pantheon to put Mars (a.k.a. Mavors) in that positon. Highly highly speculative. (I mean, it first requires assuming that Mars had the position at some point, and it was then handed to Jove due to contact with the Greeks so that the Romans could do the 'your deities are our deities' thing that they liked to do. They said that Odin was a form of Mercury.)
Or maybe it was a backstory they concocted for Quirinus. (Twelve Kingdoms and Campione! Somebody's Kirin kills Quirinus while traveling in another world.)
(As an aside, Remus in Guin saga has a very unfortunate name. I also seem to recall hearing that Rind was the name of a princess Odin was supposed to have raped.)
Alucard with his usual powerset alone, sitting in the shadow world, might well be able to compensate for no friendly wild cards and an ineffective investigation by turning the virgin victims and attacking the problem from the other side. I don't have a compelling reason why he would.
