editIt's been said he was a better general than Scipio (just don't ask me to source it...). Trekphiler 00:29, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
"He may have died" ...?
editThe article concludes with:
From this point, Claudius is not mentioned again, and it is believed he may have died.
Why the passive subjunctive "it is believed he may have" died?
Of course he died. We don't have a specific year; all we have is the last known mention of his name.
Perhaps the article should state (if this is the case; I don't know) that "he may have died during the course of his ambassadorship", or "he may have died before completing his diplomatic mission", or words to that effect.
