"Tempio Detto Volgarmente di Giano" (commonly referred to as the "Temple of Janus") is a series of etchings by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778). Piranesi, renowned for his etchings of Rome and of fictitious and atmospheric "prisons" (Le Carceri), was a key figure in the Italian Vedutismo (view painting) movement and an influential proponent of the Neoclassical style.

The "Tempio Detto Volgarmente di Giano" etchings depict the ancient Roman architectural structure commonly known as the Temple of Janus, although the actual identity of the temple remains a subject of debate among historians. Piranesi's works are characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, which serve to emphasize the grandeur and decay of Rome's ancient ruins. His etchings are not always entirely accurate representations of the structures but are rather imbued with his own artistic interpretation, aiming to evoke an emotional response and to reflect his views on the power and cultural supremacy of ancient Rome.

Piranesi's fascination with Rome's antiquities led him to create a comprehensive record of the city's architectural heritage, both real and imagined. In "Tempio Detto Volgarmente di Giano," as with many of his works, Piranesi combined meticulous detail with romanticized embellishments, thereby creating a sense of awe and sublime beauty. His work on the Temple of Janus is part of a larger body of work that helped to shape the European understanding of Roman architecture and contributed significantly to the field of archaeological illustration.

The etchings of the Temple of Janus are included in Piranesi's "Vedute di Roma" (Views of Rome), a series that was highly influential in shaping the perceptions of Rome in the Grand Tour era, when it was a key destination for the cultural education of European elites. Through his artistic vision, Piranesi not only documented the architectural landscape of Rome but also influenced the aesthetics of Neoclassicism and the Romantic movement.

Piranesi's works, including "Tempio Detto Volgarmente di Giano," are held in high esteem by collectors and art historians and are considered important contributions to the canon of Western art. They continue to be studied for their artistic merit, historical value, and their impact on the cultural imagination of Europe during the 18th century.
