THE STORY

Roman myth says that Janus was the first (among the gods or humans) to mint coins. Because of this, the image of his double-faced head appeared on many Roman coins. These coins can still be found in museums today, and representations of Janus coins are popular on jewelry.
 
Janus is a Roman animistic god of doorways and archways, or a god of all beginnings, as some scholars believe. Janus is explicitly a Roman god and does not have a Greek equivalent or origin. The worship of Janus may predate the rise of the Roman Empire, and seems to have an Etruscan origin.
