Romae) and Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae).[13] Valentine of Rome[14] was a priest in Rome who was martyred about AD 269 and was buried on the Via Flaminia."
Another legend added centuries later states that "on the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he would have written the first "valentine" card himself, addressed to the daughter of his jailer Asterius, signing as "Your Valentine." This expression "From your Valentine" is still used to this day.[This legend has been published......" ( wikipedia)
