Gemini is the twins, Janus is the Roman two-faced god.

Yeah, it would have been more mythologically accurate to say that Gemini is produced by a company that's constantly trying to drag you down into hell.

Bit more complicated than that.

It’s not one-to-one, and the Romans didn’t just adopt Greek gods.
