Given that in Carmen 57 he talks of Caesar and Marmurra as being each other's passive partner, I took it that he was playing with the active and passive sexual roles as well here. Caesar fucks this pretty boy, who gets in turn to make the presiding spirit of Rome itself his catamite. I think that Cinaedus Romulus is not a nickname - I think it means exactly what it says and that is why he repeats it.
