For the ancient Romans, January was significant because it was the month dedicated to the god Janus (hence Ianuarius, which means January in Latin).
According to Roman mythology, Janus is the two-faced god, associated with beginnings and endings, as well as transitions and passages.

Cenomani gold coin 5 to 1st century BCE French Gaul
The Cenomani was an ancient tribe of the Cisalpine Gauls, who occupied the tract north of the Padus (modern Po River), between the Insubres on the west and the Veneti on the east.
Their territory appears to have extended from the river Addua (or perhaps the Ollius, the modern Oglio) to the Athesis (modern Adige).
