Image RomaArcoGianoCostantino1.JPG thumb 250px The Arch of Janus was not dedicated to the Roman god, and is the only triumphalarch with four front sides. commons Arco di Giano The Arch of Janus is the only quadrifrons triumphalarch preserved in Rome , across a crossroads in the Velabrum Forum Boarium . It was built in the early 4th century of spolia , possibly in honour of Constantine I or Constantius II . Its current name is probably from the Renaissance or later and is not ancient. The name is derived from its four fronted, four arched structure. In the Middle Ages , the Frangipane family transformed the building into a fortress and so it survived intact up until 1830. Then the attic and top were torn down because they were erroneously believed not to belong to the original structure. Fragments of the dedicatory inscription are still preserved inside the nearby church of San Giorgio al Velabro .

The arch commemorates three brothers of the Sergia gens Sergii family , specifically Lucius Sergius Lepidus, a tribune serving in the twenty ninth Roman legion legion that participated in the Battle of Actium and disbanded in 27 BC . This suggests an approximate date of construction 29 27 BC. The arch stood behind the original naval gate of the early Roman colony . The Sergii were a powerful family of officials in the colony and retained their power for centuries. The honorary triumphalarch , originally a city gate, was erected as a symbol of the victory at Actium. It was paid for by the wife of Lepidus, Salvia Postuma Sergia, sister of the three brothers. Both of their names are carved in the stone along with Lucius Sergius and Gaius Sergius, the honoree s father and uncle respectively. In its original form, statues of the two elders flanked Lepidus on both sides on the top of the arch. On either side of the inscription, a frieze depicts cupid s, garland s and bucranium bucrania This small arch with pairs of crenelated Corinthian order Corinthian columns and winged victories in the spandrel s, was built on the facade of a gate Porta Aurea in the walls, so the part, visible from the town side, was decorated. The decoration is late hellenistic , with major oriental influences. The low relief on the frieze represents a scene with a war chariot drawn by horses.
