Because Mars is one of the five planets in our Solar System (along with Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn) that can be seen brightly at night (though only like a star) without the use of binoculars or telescopes, it is impossible to have an exact date of when it was discovered.

However, we know that Mars was discovered in the BC era by the Romans, who named it after the Roman God of War, Mars.
