The nearest approach to Janus is the Hermes θυραῖος or στροφαῖος (single head only?) and Hermes with two, three, or four heads at the meeting-points of streets. These are points which suggested to Roscher in his older work an elaborate comparison of Hermes and Janus (p. 119 foll.). Footnote 1273: See Marq 25, 26 and notes. Footnote 1274: Cic. _N. D._ 2. 27; Preller, ii. 172. Footnote 1275: For the evidence of this position of Janus in the cults of the house see Roscher, _Lex._ 32; it is indirect, but sufficiently convincing. Footnote 1276: See my article ‘Vestales’ in _Dict. of Antiquities_, ed. 2. Footnote 1277: Marq. 321 foll. Besides the sacrifice in the Regia on Jan. 9, the Rex and his wife, the Regina sacrorum, sacrificed to Juno in the Regia on the Kalends of every month, and apparently also to Janus (Junonius) to whom there were twelve altars (in the Regia?) one for each month. Macr. 1. 9. 16 and 1. 15. 19. Footnote 1278: For the father as the natural defender of the family, see Westermarck, _Hist. of Human Marriage_, ch. 3. Footnote 1279: Festus, 185 ‘Maximus videtur Rex, dein Dialis, post hunc Martialis, quarto loco Quirinalis, quinto pontifex maximus.’ For the corresponding place of Janus, Liv. 8. 9. 6; Cato, _R. R._ 134; Marq. 26. Footnote 1280: _Lex._ 37 foll.; Preller, 1. 166 foll.; Mommsen, _R. H._ i. 173. Footnote 1281: Ἔφορος πάσης πράξεως, says Lydus, 4. 2, quoting Varro; cp. Ovid, _Fasti_, 165 foll. Footnote 1282: Plut. _Q. R._ 22. Footnote 1283: Macrob. 1. 9. 16; Horace, _Sat._ ii. 6. 20 foll. Footnote 1284: Macrob. 1. 9. 14. Footnote 1285: Varro, _L. L._ 7. 26; Fest. 122. Footnote 1286: Macr. 1. 9. 16. Footnote 1287: Macr. l. c. Wissowa (_de Feriis_, vi) says the true form is cons_e_vius; but the etymology holds. Footnote 1288: Roscher, _Lex._ 21, 26, 40. Footnote 1289: _C. I. L._ 1. 307, on the evidence of Ovid, _Fast._ 1. 629 and Varro, _L. L._ 7. 84. Footnote 1290: Wissowa, _de Feriis_, viii. Footnote 1291: Mommsen, _C. I. L._ 1. 288. Footnote 1292: Fast. Praen. on Jan. 15 (mutilated). Cp. Ovid, _Fast._ 1. 619, and Plut. _Q. R._ 56. Festus, 245. Footnote 1293: By Huschke, _Röm. Jahr_, 199. There was probably more than one Carmenta (Gell. 16. 16. 4), if we consider Porrima and Postverta as two forms of the goddess; and the two days may have some relation to this duality. Perhaps there were two altars in the temple. Ovid, _Fasti_, 1. 627. Footnote 1294: Plut. _Romulus_, 21. Footnote 1295: See Wissowa in _Lex. Myth._ i. 851; Ovid. _Fasti_, 1. 461 foll.; Virg. _Aen._ 8. 336. The eighth Aeneid, it may be remarked, should be learnt by heart by all investigators into Roman antiquity. Footnote 1296:
