History

In Roman religion, two heads back to back, each looking in opposite directions represented Janus.  Janus was regarded as a Roman God - The custodian of the Universe, God of all beginnings, and the guardian of gates and doors.  He signified the tradition between primitive life and civilization, and maintained the balance between peace and war and youth and old age.  The two-faced image of Janus was often depicted on coins of the Roman Republic. January is named after him, depicting the new year period of looking back at the previous year, and looking forward to the coming year.  His festival, the Agonium took place on January 9th. 

Designed and Manufactured in the USA by Multilana New York.
