QUADRIFRONS

Arch of Janus.

'Quadrifrons' is a Latin word, meaning four-fronted or four-faced, particularly:

★ Form of triumphal arch (eg at Glanum, Arch of Janus, Rutupiae) with four arches (one pair opposite each other, and the second pair opposite each other at right angles) and hence with barrel vaulted passageway in the form of a cross.

★ Aspect of Janus, god.
It is also sometimes used in scientific classification, for example, Eremias.
