Janus (lateinisch Ianus) war der römische Gott des Anfangs und des Endes. Er gehört zu den ältesten römischen Göttern und zur ursprünglichen römischen Mythologie. Er ist ein rein römischer Gott und hat keine Entsprechung in der griechischen Mythologie. Sein Kult war in Rom äußerst bekannt, fand sich aber auch in einigen römischen Kolonien, wie in Dalmatia an der Adria, wieder.
