'''Mare Erythraeum''' is a region on [[Mars]]. It is a very large dark dusky region of Mars that can be viewed by even a small telescope. The name comes from the [[Latin]] for the Arabian Sea, because it was originally thought to be a large sea of liquid water. It was included in Percival Lowell's 1895 map of Mars.
