| |
| − | victory of the Roman People, the Quirites, and upon the enemies of
| |
| − | the Roman People, the Quirites, may You afflict them with terror,

| − | Janus, though You begin each fleeting year, and renew the long ages
| |
| − | wherever You appear, though vows and incense are piously first
| |
| − | offered to You, and the consuls begin each year by laying offerings
| |
| − | at Your feet, still there is no more joy for You to know than that
| |
| − | our divine emperor (Domitian) returns from the northern climes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Martial Epigrammata 10.28.1-2==

| − | ==Ovid Fasti1.65-70==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Biformed Janus, source of years gliding by in silence, who alone
| |
| − | among the immortal celestials sees his own back, come, attend our
| |
| − | nobles as Your guests, those whose labors secure delightful pastimes
| |
| − | for the earth, and peace on earth, peace on the seas. Attend and
| |
| − | bless Your Senators and those of the people of Rome, the Quirites,
| |
| − | and with a nod open Your gleaming gates onto peaceful precincts.
| |
| − |

| |
| − | Arise, O Consus, arise. All things, truly, I entrust to Patulcium
| |
| − | the Opener. Now You are Janus the Gatekeeper, now Cerus the Good
| |
| − | Creator, now Janus the God of Good Beginnings. Come, now most
| |
| − | especially, You who are the better of these kings.
| |
| − |
