Mars was the Roman god of war, but also served as a god of fertility. He was known to all Italic peoples. He was the son of Juno (the Queen of the gods) and Jupiter, the father of the gods (or Juno alone, with the help of a magical flower). Originally he was the god of fertility and protector of the cattle, but he later fused together with the Greek god Ares and he was primarily associated with battle, death and war. His Etruskan equivalent is Laran. Mars is the most revered god of the Roman Empire, probably because his sons (Romulus and Remus) are seen as the founders of Rome. The month of March and the planet Mars are named after this God. Dimensions: height 39 cm, length 19 cm, width 11.5 cm. Weight: 3.250 kg. Material: composite, mixture of resin with marble powder.
