Mars - God of War

Mars, the Roman God of war, is the son of Jupiter and Juno. He is a highly worshiped military god praised by Roman soldiers. Originally Mars was a Roman god of agriculture, but as the Roman empire grew, Mars became more closely associated with military activity, and became known as the God of War.

According to legend, Mars is also the father of Romulus and Remus. Because of this, all Romans are said to be descendants of Mars (and therefore, Jupiter).
