About The Temple of Janus 

The Temple of Janus is a Romano-Celtic religious shape located in Autun, Saone et Loire, France, to the North-West of the historical metropolis of Augustodunum. The temple lies within the center of a big sanctuary, whose extent and complexity became revealed by using excavations conducted between 2013 and 2016. The website's records dates again to Neolithic times and underwent an crucial phase of monumental production within the 1st century CE. The temple become abandoned on the onset of the Early Middle Ages, and its systems have been later reused in the fashioning of a medieval protective work.

The temple has retained facets of its rectangular cella at a height of over 20 meters, as well as vestiges of its ambulatory and aspect shape foundations. The temple's supposed determination to the Roman god Janus is not based on any archaeological or historical fact, and the deity that turned into commemorated inside the temple is unknown. The Temple of Janus was blanketed on the first listing of included ancient French monuments, set up in 1840.
