Janus (Jā-nəs) was known to the ancient Romans as the god of transitions and new beginnings: the key holder to the metaphorical gateways between what was and what is yet to come. Heguards the space between concrete and abstract dualities such as life/death, beginning/end, youth/adulthood, war/peace, and oversees the transformation between the major stages of life.
