Re: the first Agonalia
Doing a web search, one finds out there were/are three Agonalias, and originally the second Agonalia was not dedicated to Janus, but some other archaic Roman god. I suspect that by the third century, the first two Agonalias were centered on Janus.
The Agonalias were indeed sacrificial festivals, and exactly the type of festival that the growing Christian oriented Roman empire was at pains to eradicate.
Like many of the old Christian churches of northeastern Europe that are build upon ancient Druid/pagan sites, it appears that many Christian holiday/holydays superimpose ancient Pagan festivals. What I find interesting though, is that at least the sites and the days remain special. Kind of makes you wonder if the specialness is there regardless of what 'cloak' presently dresses it.
