²⁵ Janus Bifrons or Biceps. This divinity seems not to have been always satisfied with his two heads, for “it is said that at the taking of Falerii a statue was found with four faces; and at Rome there was a temple of Janus Quadrifrons,”—a veritable twin-brother of the Hindu Brahmā. See Keightley’s *Mythology of Greece and Italy*, p. 463.
