What month is named after Roman Earth Goddess?
The month of March was originally named (on the Julian Calendar) after Mars, the Roman God of war. Mars was originally a more peaceful god associated with the harvest, nature and fertility. As Rome began their campaign of expansionism, Mars' role in the Roman pantheon of gods became more associated with war and protection of the Roman civilization. As he was originally associated with the harvest and livestock which provided the staples of life, bread and meat, the transition is easy to understand, as the populace of Rome needed to eat and more importantly, the Roman soldiers could not march or fight on an empty stomach.
