ABOUT ME
Mars was more widely worshipped than any of the other Roman gods, probably in part because his sons by the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia, Romulus and Remus, were said to have founded Rome; the Romans called themselves the sons of Mars. Venus, who was Mars' consort in legends borrowed from the Greek mythos, held similar importance for them because of her relationship to Aeneas.
The name of the third month of the year, March, is derived from Mars via the Roman month Martius, which was considered a lucky time to go to war.
