ARCH OF JANUS

The Arch of Janus is being used as a wild card.  It is known that the four way arch that is still partially standing today (pictured) replaced an earlier arch, it is this earlier structure that we are using as our wild card.

The arch is said to have probably marked the separation of the Forum Boarium and the Velabrum.
