A Propitious Day For Fighting

The Romans used to celebrate the ides of March (the month named for Mars, the god of war) with a festival dedicated to Mars. And Tuesday is the day of Mars (Martes in Spanish, Martedi in Italian, Mardi in French) because Tyr was the Norse equivalent of Mars and Tuesday is, of course, Tyr's Day, really.

So, what I am saying is that this is the day of Mars, the month of Mars, and the date of the festival dedicated to Mars; today would be a propitious day to start (or finish) a fight of some kind. You know, like if you are Marcus Junius Brutus, or like if you are little Zangrief.
