## The God of Doors

Janus was the Roman spirit of doorways, arches and beginnings. His double face looks both ways, as a door does.

Romans honored him first in many rituals. A god of beginnings pendant keeps that place of honor.

## Peace and War

The Janus Geminus in the Forum was a bronze shrine with double doors. Its doors stood open in war and closed in peace.

A double headed Janus necklace echoes that image of a threshold. Every door in Rome had its guardian, and this was the greatest of them.

## Wearing and Display

Wear the Janus pendant necklace at the collarbone. The medallion has a nice weight. Wipe with a soft cloth and store it flat.

A Roman god pendant makes a thoughtful gift at a new start. See more in our [Museum Jewelry Necklaces](https://www.museumize.com/collections/museum-jewelry-necklaces).
