Note 1253 — MENSIS IANUARIUS.
Reading edition
Roscher, in Lex. s. v. Ianus, 29 foll. (cp. for much interesting kindred matter, De-Marchi, Il Culto privato, p. 20 foll.). Roscher’s attempt to find an analogy between the Forum and the house is interesting, but unluckily the positions ‘ad Forum’ of the ‘Ianus geminus’ and the ‘aedes Vestae’ do not exactly answer to those of the door and hearth of a Roman house.
