The Temple of Janus was an important and symbolic temple in Rome. The doors served as an index for peace and war and were either opened or closed accordingly. The only contemporary depiction of the temple is the Neronian coins that were struck in 64/5 CE in both Rome and Lugdunum in celebration of Nero’s defeat of the Parthians. This coin type is the only evidence that we have left of the Temple of Janus since the temple is lost and has no remains left. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the depictions of the temple on these coins to discover the most reliable and accurate representation of the Temple of Janus since they are the only evidence left of its appearance. By discovering the exact order of striking and observing how the appearance of the temple changed over time in the earliest Neronian sestertii, I will attempt to uncover the most accurate depiction of the Temple of Janus. The architectural features present on the earliest dies, which will be discovered by means of a die study, will be further analyzed by un-manipulating its numismatic representation; this is because die engravers had certain working methods that they would use to manipulate the appearance in order to depict a large monument on such a small medium. I will then undo these changes made to the depiction of the temple in order to discover the true architectural features of the temple and therefore reconstruct the lost Temple of Janus and uncover its original appearance. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

The aim of the thesis is to use numismatic evidence to extend the picture of N. Gaul in 350-361 which is available from other sources, and in particular to ascertain details about the usurpation of Magnentius in 350-353, the German invasions of 350-355 and the activities of Julian in 355-361. 103 hoards from Britain, Holland, Belgium, France, W. Germany and Switzerland are analysed, together with 54 site-finds from Belgium and the Rhineland which are compared with 5 site-finds from Britain and 6 from elsewhere in the Roman world. A basic pattern of coin-loss in N. Gaul is identified from the site-finds which, when compared with the pattern found elsewhere, reveals a shortage of coin in N. Gaul in 354-361 as a result of the German invasions. One answer to this shortage was to strike barbarous copies, the distribution of which is seen to correspond to the areas which had survived the invasions or where the scene of Julian's work of reconstruction. In addition a series of hoards, destruction levels and intensively occupied hill-top refuges helps to plot the course of the German invasions. More general matters of coin-circulation are discussed. Various circulation-"pools" are identified and their relationship to one another analysed; coin supply as well as the reasons for and the speed of coin movement are studied. Movements of personnel or troops, as well as administrative links, are identified as the main factors in coin movement in N. Gaul. Particular attention is paid to methods of analysis and to the reliability of the evidence from hoards and site-finds, especially the latter, and ways are determined of recognising distorted or unreliable finds.
