In this regard, Claudius II imposed a ban on marriages of foreign soldiers. However, he could not to prohibit young people to fall in love. According to one legend, there lived a field doctor and priest Valentine from Terni, who was not afraid of the imperial anger and secretly married the youth. Apparently, he was a desperate romantic, as Valentine did not only helped to legitimize the relationship, but also helped to make up a quarrel between couples, taught them to write love letters and introduced the tradition of giving flowers to the loved ones. Soon the emperor denounced the illegal actions of the priest, for which he was imprisoned and later executed.
