According to Roman legend, when a plague threatened all inhabitants of Rome in very ancient times, the Romans prayed to the god Mars for help. Mars sent a shield with the admonition that as long as the shield was kept safe, so Rome would remain safe. To protect the shield, the Romans had 11 copies made and, every year, on March 1, priests of Mars (the Salii) paraded the 12 shields through Rome. This representation of the priests and shields (these were known as the ancilla in Latin) was found on an uncovered ancient gemstone.
