A minor note:  Much Roman propaganda to the contrary, the worship of Mars and 
the worship of Ares were very different.  Mars was a soldier's god, 
emphasizing discipline and obedience.  Ares was a god of slaughter and waste; more the 
god of rievers and raiders.  Of course, after the Greek conquest, the two 
worships merged, taking on aspects of the other, but from what I can see it was a 
very uneasy uniting.

(Makes me wonder what would have happened if the Romans had decided that Mars 
had no Greek equivalent, like Janus.)
