Discrepancies
The article for Gordian III says he closed the doors sometime around 241 or 242 for the last time in Roman history, is that true? --AW 15:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That article states he opened them, i.e. started a war which ended the last period of peace for the empire. The implication that from then onwards, Rome was always at war with someone. However, I have no idea whether this is true or not - if so it should be mentioned in this article. Modest Genius talk 23:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

There appears to be a discrepancy between the number of closings mentioned in this article and the Gates of Janus article. It states: ''The emperor Augustus boasted in his autobiographical Res Gestae paragraph 13 that he closed the Gates of Janus three times. From Cassius Dio 51.20 and 53.27 we are able to date the first two closures to 29 and 25 BC respectively. Thus, Augustus closed the Gates of Janus more times than in all prior Roman history.'' This article only lists 5 closings. By my count, it should be at least 7. Armaghetto (talk) 04:15, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Merge
Propose merger of Temple of Janus (Roman Forum) and Gates of Janus (merely the doors of the former). Valerius Tygart (talk) 15:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Pretty clearly should go forward as there is substantial duplication. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:50, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree and done. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:52, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
