Mars in Astrology was the most important god of the Roman Empire alongside Jupiter. He was considered the mythical father of Romulus and Remus, the founders of the city of Rome, and was initially worshiped outside the city, on the so-called Field of Mars. It was not until Augustus that his temple was moved to the center of the city's forum; The occasion was the military defeat of the Caesar murderers and revenge on the enemies of the republic. In contrast to its Greek counterpart Ares, Mars was originally a spring god. It's fighting abilities to drive away from the winter and its harshness soon turned Mars, which was initially connected to agriculture, into a pure god of war. The names of his demonic companions (Phobos and Deimos, fear and terror) were later transferred to the moons of the planet Mars. Mars also played an outstanding role in the calendar of the Romans: the first month of the year, March, was dedicated to him, as was the third day of the week, Tuesday (cf. Mardi in French). The German weekday name goes back to the Germanic equivalent of Mars, the god of war Tiu.
