Greetings dear friends of @Project.HOPE, according to prehistoric data in the beginning of time, humans maintained full contact with the environment, then when they felt danger they chose to take refuge in caves, an element that was not enough to keep them safe, so later they decided to place doors at the entrances of the caves as protection structures.
This prehistoric behavior of man, indicates that the doors besides allowing us to move from one place or environment to another, serve as protective structures against external threats, now, to scrutinize we can also find that, according to ancient Roman religion and mythology, the temple of Janus remained open in times of war and closed in times of peace, a vision that corresponded to a symbolism around the god Janus (the god of the two faces), where the doors were complements of change, steps and transformations.

In Roman religious and mythological scriptures, Janus is the God of doors, transitions, time, duality, thresholds, passages, beginnings and endings, whose physical and earthly presence is represented by a two-faced bust, one looking into the future and the other into the past, from the vital these two faces looking in opposite directions, illustrate very well the beginning of the universe, and its constant evolution always towards a more chaotic state, but not the other way round.
In this religious and mythological vision of the Romans, the gates preside over the beginning and the end of a conflict, consequently, the gates are equivalent symbolisms to unleash war or invoke peace. I hope to count on your appreciations in each of the comments that you have kindly left in this publication.
