Giano (latino: Ianus) è il dio degli inizi, materiali e immateriali, ed è una delle divinità più antiche e più importanti della religione romana, latina e italica. Solitamente è raffigurato con due volti (il cosiddetto Giano Bifronte), poiché il dio può guardare il futuro e il passato. Nel caso del Giano quadrifronte, le quattro facce sono rivolte ai quattro punti cardinali.
