In ancient Roman mythology Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions, thence also of gates, doors, doorways, endings and time. He is usually a two-faced god since he looks to the future and the past. Although there is really no mention of his personality traits, if you where to call somebody Janus-faced today it would imply that they are duplicitous.
