Gaius Claudius Nero

 
Wikipedia: Gaius Claudius Nero

Gaius Claudius Nero was a Roman consul who fought in the Battle of the Metaurus (207 BC). He was member of the gens Claudia. He is not to be confused with the Roman Emperor Nero.

In 207 BC he was elected consul with Marcus Livius Salinator, and with his colleague he led the army that defeated the Carthaginians at the river Metaurus, killing their commander, Hannibal's brother Hasdrubal.

He was censor with Marcus Livius Salinator in 204 BC and often quarrelled with him.
