This bronze sculpture of Mars, the most prominent of the military gods, appears larger than life in all his intricately detailed attire. In early Roman times, Mars was known as the God of Spring, fertility, and the protector of the home. Over time, Mars evolved into the god of death and war. The month of March and the planet Mars were also named after this important god. Mars displays a confident stature as he prepares for battle bearing a shield in his left hand. His prominently high cheekbones, fearless large eyes, and thick curly hair are further accentuated by the extremely ornate and traditional Roman helmet with a crest. His body armor portrays two sacred wolves which were often associated with his being. The kilt around his waist and cloak draped behind him, add to the grandeur of this mythological persona. Bring this larger-than-life hero into your castle and let him serve as a reminder of his historically significant contributions to the Roman Empire. Dimensions: Height 29 X Width 13 inches. Weight: 60 LBS.
