Tiberius Claudius Nero was a consul of the Roman Republic in 202 BC. He was the great-grandson of Appius Claudius Caecus. In 204 BC, Claudius Nero was assigned as praetor to the ''provincia'' of Sardinia, where he gathered and shipped supplies of grain and clothing for soldiers under the command of Scipio in Africa.〔Livy 29.36.1–3.〕 As consul, he was assigned to Africa with ''imperium'' equal to that of Scipio,〔Livy 30.27.1–5.〕 but storms and delays in his preparations prevented him from ever arriving.〔Livy 30.38.6–7 and 30.39.1-3; Zonaras 9.14.〕 His consular colleague was M. Servilius Pulex Geminus. In 172 BC, Claudius Nero participated in diplomatic missions, the historical sources for which pose difficulties. Livy says he was sent on an embassy with a Marcus Decimius to Asia and islands in the Aegean, including Rhodes and Crete, and traveled as far as Syria and Egypt. His task was to renew friendships and alliances, and to gather information on the influence of Perseus of Macedon.〔Livy 42.19.7–8 and 26.7–9.〕 Polybius says he was accompanied by Postumius Albinus and a Marcus Junius Brutus, and describes their mission as urging the allies, particularly Rhodes, to join the Romans against Perseus.〔Polybius 27.3.1–5; Livy also has a similar account (42.45.1–7) that seems to repeat but confuse what he had reported earlier.〕 It is also possible that this Claudius Nero was either the Tiberius Claudius Nero who was praetor in 178 BC, or the praetor of 181 BC who had the same name.〔See discussion by Broughton, ''MRR''1 p. 415, notes 4 and 5. Friedrich Münzer favors the praetor of 178 in this role.〕 ==In popular culture== Tiberius Claudius Nero was played by Ty Kopp in the 2006 film The Secret Under the Rose. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tiberius Claudius Nero (consul)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
