In the year 878, Cassius' relics were taken to Basilica di San Frediano in Lucca with those of Saints Juvenal of Narni and Cassius' wife Fausta.[3] They were taken by Adalbert, Margrave of Tuscany,[2] but all of the relics were returned to Narni two years later.[2][3] The relics of Saint Cassius were built in a restored shrine later known as the Sacello di San Cassio.[2] Juvenal's relics are said to have been hidden.[2]
