A life sized statue of Mars on display at the Yorkshire museum. Its almost complete, aside from its legs and its other arm, which would have more than likely been carrying a metal spear. Mars was extremely popular amongst soldiers- so to have a statue of him, and more than likely a temple that adorned it, at a large fort like Eboracvm makes a lot of sense. Like all Roman statues, the statue would have been painted, though the colours are not certain as not enough pigment remains.
