Following the 2013-14 Liga Premier season, FC Imperialis Ianiculum finished mid-table for the third year in a row and had lost six straight games at the start of the next season.

It was originally announced that Claudius would only serve on an interim basis for the remainder of the season with a full interview process planned for the offseason.

===Purchase of HC Regis Adrianopolis===
===Purchase of HC Regis Adrianopolis===
The [[House of Claudius]] first attempted to purchase [[Liga Magna|LMH's]] HC Regis Adrianople in the 1950s, and again in the 1970s and early 2000s, all of which were refused by the longtime owners, Furii family. Most gossip surrounding these attempted purchases revolved around issues the Claudii had with the teams name, seeing it as a slight referencing the Claudii family's period as [[Rulers of Adrianople]]. In 2010, the Furii sold a 27% ownership interest to Adrianople Sporting Firm, who in turn sold a 1% interest to Imperial Athletic and Entertainment Holdings. By 2015, the Imperial 1% interest rose to 30%. On 4 December 2017, Claudius negotiated the Imperial family's purchase of the controlling stake in the team. Days later, Claudius announced that the new ownership would not see immediate changes in the team's day-to-day operations, but a name change was being considered for the 2018-19 season. On 15 December 2017, Claudius announced the team would be renamed HC Augusta Adrianopolis for the 2018-19 season.

Claudius was appointed to replace longtime Chairman Georgios Anagnos, who had won 4 league titles for Imperialis in his 10 years as the helm, though had not finished higher than 6th since 2009. It was originally announced that Claudius would only serve on an interim basis for the remainder of the season with a full interview process planned for the offseason. At the time of the hire, fans had been calling for manager Flavius Blaesus to be fired, though Claudius instead replaced Vitalius Heius as director of football and assumed the duties himself. At the next transfer window, Castellum initiated a $23 million bid for 19 year old Perateian football star, Nikeforos Zenon (now known as Zeno).

At the end of the 2013-2014 season, Imperialis finished 3rd in the league table and qualified for BFFA Champions League. It was also announced that the club would not be holding interviews and appointed Claudius as full time Chairman in 2014.

Purchase of HC Regis Adrianopolis

The House of Claudius first attempted to purchase LMH's HC Regis Adrianople in the 1950s, and again in the 1970s and early 2000s, all of which were refused by the longtime owners, Furii family. Most gossip surrounding these attempted purchases revolved around issues the Claudii had with the teams name, seeing it as a slight referencing the Claudii family's period as Rulers of Adrianople. In 2010, the Furii sold a 27% ownership interest to Adrianople Sporting Firm, who in turn sold a 1% interest to Imperial Athletic and Entertainment Holdings. By 2015, the Imperial 1% interest rose to 30%. On 4 December 2017, Claudius negotiated the Imperial family's purchase of the controlling stake in the team. Days later, Claudius announced that the new ownership would not see immediate changes in the team's day-to-day operations, but a name change was being considered for the 2018-19 season. On 15 December 2017, Claudius announced the team would be renamed HC Augusta Adrianopolis for the 2018-19 season.

Personal life

Claudius has been married once, to Alexandra Tarpeia. He and Tarpeia first met while Claudius was on loan to Rutupiae AC in 1992 and were sporadically seen together throughout town. The two married at a private ceremony Rutupiae while Alexandra was four months pregnant. Claudius and Tarpeia would eventually divorce in 1998, citing personal differences. They have two children, Victoria (1992) and Leontia (1995). Despite their divorce, they are known to be on good terms today.

In 1999, Florian married Ghantish noblewoman Marsella Atmos. The wedding took place at the family chapel at Palatium Supranio, in Adrianople. The two met years prior when Atmos served as a lady-in-waiting to Claudius' cousin then Isabella, Crown Princess of Ghant. The couple have six children together: Peter (b. 2000); Polyxena (b. 2000); Olivia (b. 2002); Octavia (b. 2005); Ophelia (b. 2008); and Philip (b. 2011)
