Roman Empire: Claudius II, AD 268-270, BI Double-Denarius NGC Ancients, Roman Age of Chaos

  

In the year 268, Caesar Marcus Aurelius Claudius Augustus, known as Claudius Il Gothicus, assumed the Roman throne. Desperate for fresh army recruits, he decreed that young men remain unmarried, hoping that without the frivolous distraction of courtship, more of them would become soldiers. Enter that incarnation of romantic love, St. Valentine. Defying the new Emperor's orders, Valentine performed secret marriages in the underground Christian community. He was soon discovered, arrested, and sentenced to death. Legend has it that just before his execution, he sent a letter to the jailer's daughter, whom he had befriended, which he signed "from your Valentine"-the origin of the modern custom. On February 14, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate, but his heart beat on; his Feast Day was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496. Claudius would fare no better; unable to reunite the Empire despite impressive victories over the Goths, he died of pestilence during the Plague of Cyprian.
