BRITANNICUS

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 595 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRITANNICUS , son of the Roman emperor
Claudius
  by his third wife Messallina, was born probably A.D. 41. He was originally called
Claudius
  Tiberius Germanicus, and received the name Britannicus from the senate on account of the conquest made in Britain about the time of his
birth
 . Till 48, the date of his mother's execution, he was looked upon as the
heir
  presumptive; but Agrippina, the new wife of Claudius, soon persuaded the feeble emperor to adopt Lucius Domitius, known later as Nero, her son by a previous
marriage
 . After the accession of Nero, Agrippina, by playing on his fears, induced him to poison Britannicus at a banquet (A.D. 55). A golden statue of the
young
  prince was set up by the emperor Titus. Britannicus is the subject of a tragedy by Racine.
Tacitus, Annals, xii. 25, 41, xiii. 14-16; Suetonius, Nero, 33; Dio
Cassius
  lx. 32, 34; works quoted under NERD.
