An Etruscan divinity prominent on the Piacenza liver who was the recipient of sacrifice (and only bears a coincidental similarity to the Roman god of war, Mars). The divinity takes various forms, such as young and old, clean-shaven and bearded, and is sometimes linked to love, fertility, agriculture, energy, and generative forces. He was the husband of Turan.
