Janus and the face of coins across ancient time
A discussion by Ed Rochette on Janus as the symbol of beginnings and its presence on ancient coins. The piece traces calendar reforms from Numa Pompilius to Julius Caesar, notes Janus two faced imagery as keeper of gates, and surveys coin values and collectors’ items including anaes coins, King George VI pieces, World War II German coins, a 1924 silver dollar, and a 5 mill tax token.
