'''Jason Claudius, Duke of Adrianople''', <small>EE EAA MCG ECC MCC ESM</small> (''Gaius Claudius Nero Iason Felix Alexander''; 18 May 1895 – 31 October 1976), was a Latin noble, general, statesman, and one of the leading political and military figures in Latium during the 20th century. | |||
Born in 1895, Claudius was the eldest son of Theodosius Claudius, Duke of Adrianople and [[Isobel of Gaemar|Princess Isobel of Gaemar]]. Claudius was a male-line member of [[House of Claudius|Claudii dynasty]].

His first government appointment was as Latin Ambassador to Garza, serving from 1924 until 1929. He was rumored to have been selected for the posting due to lobbying by his grandfather. | |||
Claudius first served as {{wp|Lieutenant (United Kingdom|Centurion}} in the Latin military from 1927 until 1933, with a {{wp|Military tribune|military tribunate}} in 1933 onward. He was promoted directly from Tribune to Legate in 1937, a position he served in until the Social War. In 1945 he was appointed Chief Prefect of Imperial Latin Armed Forces during the [[Social War]], by [[Diana Augusta|Diana I, Latin Empress]] in the wake of the [[Coup of 12 August 1946|April 1945 coup]]. During the Social War, Claudius quickly led Imperial forces to a string of victories in the surrender of Castellum, Pola and Ravenna.
