Mars

The Gradivus (The Marcher), the father of Romulus and the ultimate protector of Rome. He is not just a god of war; he is a god of agriculture and the guardian of the fields, the one who clears the way for the legion and the plow alike. He represents the disciplined, masculine virtue of the Roman citizen. He is the red planet and the iron spear, the one who ensures that the boundaries of the empire are held with a grip that never falters. He is the wolf-father of the nation.
