(Mitoloji) Eski Roma'da kapılar mabudu, başı iki yüzlü bir ilâh
(Mitoloji) Janus, bir yüzü o yana, bir yüzü bu yana bakan iki yüzlü Roma tanrısıdır. Bu tanrının resmine Roma paralarında raslanır. Janus'a ait olan bu resimde yüzlerden biri kentten içeri girenlere, öteki ise kentten çıkanlara bakar. Böylece kent güvenlik içinde yaşamasını sürdürür. İngilizcede ocak ayını anlatan January sözcüğü Janus'tan gelir. Bunun nedeni ocak ayının bir yönüyle geçen yıla, bir başka yönüyle de gelecek yıla bakmasıdır. Bu benzerlik ocak ayının january biçiminde adlandırılmasına yol açmıştır
