Valerian

Valerian was the first Roman Emperor to be captured as a prisoner of war.

Both Cyprian and Valerian gave as the reason for their continued bachelorhood, the fact that they were too comfortable as bachelors and had never felt the need of a wife.

In the event of anyone wishing to invoke the very Prince of Spirits, the following ingredients were prescribed to be burnt - Juice of Hypericon, Saffron, Artemisia, and the root of Valerian.

Tobacco and the plant valerian are also considered to be anaphrodisiac in their effects, diminishing sexual inclination.
