Either the body of Valentine was totally dismembered or there are more than one Valentine. The flower crowned skull of St Valentine is exhibited in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. In 1836, some relics that were exhumed from the catacombs of Saint Hippolytus on the Via Tiburtina, Rome, were identified with St Valentine; placed in a casket, and transported to a Church in Dublin, Ireland, to which they were donated by Pope Gregory XVI. Alleged relics of St. Valentine also lie at the reliquary of Roquemaure in France, in the Stephansdom in Vienna and also in Blessed John Duns Scotus' church of Glasgow, Scotland. There is also a gold reliquary bearing the words 'Corpus St. Valentin, M' (Body of St. Valentine, Martyr) at The Birmingham Oratory, UK in one of the side altars in the main church. Relics are also claimed to be at Balzan and Malta.
