Mars was the Roman God of war and also an agricultural guardian. In Greek legend Mars is also known as Ares. He was the son of Jupiter and Juno, and he was the most outstanding of the military gods worshipped by the Roman legions.
His festivals were held in March, the month named for him, and in October, which began and ended the season for military campaigning and farming.
