Valerianus 2 was bishop of Roscianum; he was one of the hundred and twenty-five Western bishops who attended the Council of Rome at Easter 680, and who subscribed the decree condemning monotheletism: Riedinger, p. 154, line 4 (= Mansi XI 309-310) (Βαλεριανὸς ἐλάχιστος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς ἁγίας ἐκκλησίας εἰς τὰ Ῥωσάνα; the Latin version printed in Riedinger, p. 155, line 3, calls him "Ualerianus episcopus sanctae ecclesiae Rosanae"). The identity of his see is uncertain. He is listed among a group of bishops all from Latium, but there appears to be no place called Rosana or Rosanum or similar in that area, or elsewhere in Italy, apart from Roscianum which was in Calabria.
