El concepto de “Leyenda urbana” es utilizado para designar las historias fantásticas que circulan entre la población en la actualidad. Aplicando las características propias de este tipo de ficciones podemos rastrear alguna de ellas hasta la Roma antigua. Uno de estos ejemplos es la historia de “Androcles y el león”, una historia que comienza a difundirse durante el Alto Imperio, convirtiéndose ella misma en una leyenda al ser atribuida a autores muy anteriores, y que hoy en día aún se destinada su texto a jóvenes lectores. Como en la actualidad, su estudio puede ayudarnos a conocer mejor la mentalidad de aquellos romanos del Imperio.
