The pagan Roman god Janus was one of the most ancient of all the Roman gods.

He is represented in sculpture as a two headed figure that looks in opposite directions. This was because the Romans believed he had knowledge of the present and could foretell the future. Janus was the god of doorways and protector of all entrances.

The name of the first month of the year, January, is traced to this god. (amazing)
