The study particularly develops a detailed examination of premodern and contemporary manifestations of punitive ascription to corporations, aiming to determine to what extent praeter-legal and normative criteria existed for imputing criminal acts to collective entities. On this basis, it challenges the communis opinio linking legal persons' criminal liability to three widespread assertions in specialized literature: (i) the alleged absence of a corporate criminal liability regime in Roman law, (ii) the attribution of the maxim societas delinquere non potest to medieval canon law, and (iii) the presumed exogenous origin of corporate criminal imputation. The analysis ultimately demonstrates these premises' lack of substantive support while revealing how historical dilemmas continue to resonate with unexpected relevance in contemporary Latin American legal systems. Este artículo examina las bases histórica-dogmáticas de la responsabilidad penal corporativa, a partir del análisis sistemático de fuentes normativas, teológicas, filológicas, lingüísticas y contextuales que permiten identificar expresiones tempranas de punibilidad colectiva. En particular, se desarrolla un estudio pormenorizado sobre las manifestaciones premodernas y contemporáneas de adscripción punitiva a las corporaciones, con el fin de precisar en qué medida existieron y subsisten los criterios praeterjurídicos y normativos orientados a imputar hechos punibles a entes colectivos. Sobre dicha base, se objeta la communis opinio que asocia la responsabilidad penal de personas jurídicas a tres afirmaciones generalizadas en la literatura especializada: la inexistencia de un régimen de responsabilidad penal corporativa atribuible al Derecho romano, la adscripción del aforismo societas delinquere non potest al canonismo medieval, y el supuesto origen exógeno de la imputación penal corporativa. Finalmente, se concluye que tales premisas carecen de soporte argumentativo, demostrando cómo los dilemas histórico-dogmáticos resuenan e influyen actualmente en los ordenamientos jurídicos latinoamericanos.
