I think this "as" means "because" judging from the context, but the translation goes "when", so it's confusing. What do you think?
ex)Janus, the Roman god of doorways, reminds us of the importance of seeing the past and looking toward the future. The pictures of Janus show eyes, nose, and mouth on both the front and back of his head. The reason for showing him like this is to show that a doorway is both an entrance and exit. As Janus stands in the doorway - the present - he can look forward and backward at the same time. The month of January is named after Janus, as it indicates the end of the old year and the beginning of a fresh new year....
