Ok, your link didn't help. "Jani" means "door" in latin. Janus was the god of doors (hence the two faces, to watch each side apparently--didn't know that part). So a "janitor" is someone who watches doors... a Roman doorman, I suppose??Originally Posted by whaywardj
Hayward, have you read any Lindsey Davis?? The "Falco" books. A private detective in Roman times. They are very good and very funny.
