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.

Janus presided over the beginning and ending of conflict, and hence war and peace. The doors of his temple were open in time of war, and closed to mark the peace. A
