Abstract
The article discusses the need for differentiation of Major and Minor Gods in the Roman pantheon. The focus is on the entourage of the Roman god Mars, which is traditionally considered among the minor deities. The author proposes several hypotheses regarding the so-called Molae: about the originally peaceful, protective nature of their functions; about their connection with agricultural cult and early incorporation into the cult of Mars.
