Julius Caesar called this town Forum Julii when he founded it around 50 BC. Today, this double-head Hermes fountain greets you at the boarder of Fréjus. On the left is the Pan, the Greek god of wisdom and the father of Hermes. On the right is Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. They act as ancient guardians of entrances and exits. However, some speculate this statue represents the Roman god Janus who looked into the past and future. The month of January was named in his honor.
