Janus, the Roman god of transitions. One head looks to the past, one to the future. I fell in love with them while visiting Rome a couple years back. Janus is where we get the month name, January. This version also incorporates Memento Mori, (an idea more common in times when we didn't live very long, but still a good concept to remember) which reminds to live your life fully, do all the things, make the best of everything. We have a finite amount of time here. One more thing, roses used to be a symbol of this concept. There used to be a phrase, "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
