The Roman lists not one, but two Valentines, for February 14th. The first reads thus: "On February 14th, on the Via Flaminia in Rome, St Valentine, priest and martyr, after performing various healing miracles, and known for his culture, was killed by decapitation under Claudius Caesar." The second one states: "On February 14th, in Terni, after being severely beaten, St Valentine was imprisoned and since they (his captors) were unable to overcome his resistance, they secretly dragged him out of prison at midnight and beheaded him on the orders of Placidus, the prefect of Rome". El Martirologio Romano enumera no uno, sino dos San Valentín, para el 14 de febrero. El primero dice así: "El 14 de febrero, en la Vía Flaminia de Roma, San Valentín, sacerdote y mártir, después de realizar varios milagros de curación, y conocido por su cultura, fue asesinado por decapitación bajo Claudio César". El segundo dice: "El 14 de febrero, en Terni, después de ser brutalmente golpeado, San Valentín fue encarcelado y, como ellos (sus captores) no pudieron vencer su resistencia, lo sacaron a escondidas a la medianoche y lo decapitaron en la órdenes de Placidus, el prefecto de Roma ".
