Its interesting to note the Janus face or Roman god Janus was directly linked to Sol Invictus.
He was used to open and close any ritual of any and every other Roman deity, almost has the makings of a monotheistic vibe in the making.
Janus had no flamen or specialised priest (sacerdos) assigned to him, but the King of the Sacred Rites (rex sacrorum) himself carried out his ceremonies. Janus had a ubiquitous presence in religious ceremonies throughout the year, and was ritually invoked at the beginning of each one, regardless of the main deity honored on any particular occasion.
Christmas is not Saturnalia its the birth of Janus after three nights after the winter solstice when he dies, Janus is Jesus reborn.
On a side note the Greek word for Jesus is Iésous and the Greek for Janus is Iānus which is also where Ja comes from which leads onto Jah or Yah, Jah the moon deity, who Janus is also associated.
Modern scholars have conjectured that it derives from the Indo-European root meaning transitional movement (cf. Sanskrit “yana-” or Avestan “yah-”, likewise with Latin “i-” and Greek “ei-”.).[10] Iānus would then be an action name expressing the idea of going, passing, formed on the root *yā- < *y-eð2- theme II of the root *ey- go from which eō, ειμι.[11]
Other modern scholars object to an Indo-European etymology either from Dianus or from root *yā-.[12]
From Ianus derived ianua (“door”),[13] and hence the English word “janitor” (Latin, ianitor).
Oh shit did I just find out Yahweh and his son/sun is actually the Roman God Janus to which he has no other pantheon equivalent.

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (/ˈdʒeɪnəs/; Latin: Iānus, pronounced [ˈjaː.nus]) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways,[1] passages, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. It is conventionally thought that the month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius),[2] but according to ancient Roman farmers’ almanacs Juno was the tutelary deity of the month.[3]
Janus presided over the beginning and ending of conflict, and hence war and peace. The doors of his temple were open in time of war, and closed to mark the peace. As a god of transitions, he had functions pertaining to birth and to journeys and exchange, and in his association with Portunus, a similar harbor and gateway god, he was concerned with travelling, trading and shipping.
Didn’t the God of Abraham say he was the alpha/beginning and Omega/ending.
