It was the temple of Janus. Its doors were open in time of war, and closed in time of peace.
Janus was the god of beginnings and transitions and, therefore, of gates, doors, doorways, passages and endings, and was associated with births, and journeys. He presided over the beginning and end of conflict and though this, war and peace. He looked to the future and the past and was therefore depicted with two faces. The month of January (Ianuarius) was named after him.

It happened for the first time under king Numa Pompilius (715-673 BC). The second time was under Titus Manlius in 235 BC. They were closed three more times under Augustus in 29 BC, 25 BC, and possibly 13 BC. The sixth time was under Nero in 66 AD and the seventh time under Vespasian in AD 70.
