dc.description Resumen: Mucho se ha escrito a lo largo de los siglos sobre las circunstancias que rodearon la muerte del emperador romano Claudio (10 a. C. – 54 d. C.). El consenso general entre los historiadores antiguos que narran el episodio –Tácito, Suetonio y Dion Casio-, así como muchas otras referencias dispersas en la literatura latina nos llevan a pensar que su muerte se debió a una conspiración de su cuarta esposa, su sobrina Agripina, que le sirvió un plato de setas previamente envenenadas. Sin embargo, entre los estudiosos modernos hay quienes, como Grimm-Samuel, han barajado la posibilidad de que su muerte se debió a la ingesta (ya fuese premeditadamente, ya de manera accidental) de setas venenosas, en concreto de la especie Amanita phalloides. Partiendo de diversos argumentos, ofrecemos nuestra opinión sobre el tema, que no difiere mucho de la que ofrecen los escritores de la Antigüedad.Summary: In the course of the centuries, many pages have been written on the circumstances surrounding the death of the Roman Emperor Claudius (10 BC – 54 AD). General agreement among ancient historians who relate us the story –Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio-, as well as the rest of scattered references in Latin literature induce us to think his death was due to his fourth wife’s conspiracy, his niece Agrippina, who served him a dish with previously poisoned mushrooms. Nevertheless, some of the scholars of our time, Grimm-Samuel for example, have considered the hypothesis that Claudius died because he ingested poisonous mushrooms (“either through criminal intent, or by sheer accident”), more specifically Amanita phalloides. Starting from different arguments, we offer our own point of view, which does not differ much from the ancient writers’ opinion.
