Who is Janus?
In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings.
- The God of Two Faces: He is classically depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions. One face looks back at the past, while the other looks forward to the future.
- The Symbol of Change: He presides over the transition between states and conditions (e.g., peace and war, youth and adulthood) and over the progression of time.
- Namesake of January: The month of January is named after Janus, representing the transition from the old year to the new.
About This Design
This model thoughtfully captures the duality of Janus. One side features the weathered, bearded visage of an older man representing the past, while the opposite side presents a youthful, clean-shaven face looking toward the future. The two faces are beautifully bridged by dynamic, classical-style curls of hair.
