Janus was the god of doors, gates, transitions and ruled over seasonal events such as planting, harvests, seasonal changes, and the new year and presents the beginning of the world.
The name January came from Janus, thus representing the transition between dualities such as the past and future. As the god of transitions and dualities, Janus is portrayed with two faces—one facing the past, and one facing the future.
He also holds a key in his right hand, which symbolizes his protection of doors, gates, thresholds, and other separations or openings between spatial boundaries. The key signifies a traveler has come to find safe harbor or trade goods in peace.
Intriguingly, Janus also oversaw the initiation of financial enterprises and humankind’s transition to civilization. A major aspect of this was the creation of coins. Roman myth says that Janus was the first (among the gods or humans) to mint coins.
