Mars was one of the central gods in the ancient Italian religion, especially in Rome. He is the most important Roman god besides Jupiter. In the founding legend of Rome, Mars is the father of the twins Romulus and Remus and thus the progenitor of the Romans. The month of March, originally the first month of the year for the Romans, was dedicated to Mars.
