Depicted with two faces, Janus was able to simultaneously oversee entry and exit, the past and the future, perfectly embodying the concept of transition and renewal. It is no coincidence that he was the god of all &#8220;beginnings,&#8221; real or symbolic, and it was only fitting that he should give his name to the month that opens the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the calendar reforms, January became the first month of the year with the Julian reform, initiated by Julius Caesar.
