abstract
  • Valentinian I (Latin: Valentinius Romanticus Kisskiss Lovey-Dovicus; 321 – 17 November 375), also known as Valentinian the Great, was Roman Emperor from 364 to 375. Romantic Roman Emperors had been in short supply since ..well the age of Augustus but in 364 A.D. an opportunity arose to rectify this deficiency. Valentinian was in the right place to get this opportunity, a poet and emperor who would go soft and bendy at the knees if presented with a box of chocolates or the freshly severed head of an enemy. He would kiss them both and give thanks to God for making him one hell of a lucky bastard and then send them a card. It began a tradition that was followed by others, though the dark side of a 'Valentinian Message' got lost over time except in Italy with the Mafia. At least flower sellers should honour this emperor every time their till trills with money on the 14th February. It was only later that the Church pretended that Valentine's day was named after some obscure saint who was supposed to have been martyred in a Chicago garage a century earlier.
