Mars, the god of war, 2AD. (Greek god of war: Ares)
In this particular artwork, the head had been chiselled out of a relief, and had been inspired by the image of Mars Ultor in the temple of Mars, in the forum of Augustus.
On his armour we see the head of Medusa, which was actually added in the 16th century. Other notable features of this art-piece include the sphinx and wings on his helmet.
