Mars was honored in several manifestations. Initially, Mars was worshipped as the Roman god having power over spring, fertility, fields, crops, vegetation, cattle and other livestock. Finally and most famously, during Rome's great military era, Mars was worshipped as god of death and war; Mars Gradivus (leader in battle) and Mars Ultor (the avenger). At the Campus Martius just outside the city, soldiers and athleteswere trained. The beginning and end of the main growing season, which also corresponded to the main warfare season, were marked by Mars festivals. His sacred animals were the wolf and the woodpecker.
