Sorry! Was reading bottom down! So that is the two headed God, would have been good had you also taken the pains of finding out what he is the God of! But it is a great name to keep. All of us can kinda relate to him.

Here's a more detailed explanation I got somewhere abt Janus
A purely Roman god,Janus was seen as the origin of all things,the introducer of the system of the years,the changing of the seasons,the ups and downs of fortune,and the civilisation of the human race by means of agriculture,industry,art and religion. He opened and closed all things,and sat,not only on the confines of the Earth,but also at the gates of Heaven. Air,sea and land were in the hollow of his hands,and the world moved on its hinges at his command. He was popularly represented seated,with two heads,one that of a youth (to signify the concept of beginning),the other that of an aged man (indicating the end). In his left hand he held a key,to show that he opened all things in the beginning,and shuts them at the end,and in his right hand he carried the sceptre with which he controlled all undertakings and their progress.
