"Armored son of the great Jupiter, Mars. Virile god of the wildlands. The Strider, great father (to) the sons of Romulus. Protect and defend us Wolf of Cyrene and grant us your great wisdom."

―a statue inscription on Mars in Cyrene

Mars was the god of war, destruction, and masculinity in Roman mythology. The equivalent of the Greek god Ares, he was also regarded as the son of Jupiter, and wolves were sacred to him.

By the 1st century BCE, a statue of Mars was erected in a hall situated atop an acropolis in Cyrene, Cyrenaica.

In the 15th century, a small statue of Mars was recovered by the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Monteriggioni. He found it on a wall of the western-most building closest to the Villa Auditore.
