The emperor Claudius of Rome ruled an empire spanning three continents between 41 and 54 CE. His reign was of massive importance to the history of ancient European civilization. In fact, the emperor was among the most innovative, fair, and wise in all Roman history. However, because Claudius suffered from physical handicaps and spoke with a stutter, ancient authors were biased against him. Consequently, their descriptions of his time in power are almost uniformly hostile, and many ancient historians ignore all of the good that he did.
Claudius’s reign was important for its major innovations. He conquered the island of Britain and incorporated it into the Roman Empire. He also built a new harbor for Rome and oversaw the construction of several new aqueducts, which brought clean water into the city. He even created laws to protect the rights of slaves and expand Roman citizenship to new people. All of these facts suggest that he was a gifted ruler with strong judgment, despite what may be found in histories written by his detractors.
Another reason for the hostility of ancient authors toward the reign of Claudius has to do with the fact that the writers were usually of senatorial class. Claudius was not elected to power by the Senate and severely limited its traditional powers during his reign. However, illustrating his wisdom, instead of entrusting high bureaucratic positions to senators, he preferred to give them to trustworthy slaves and former slaves (freedmen), whom he felt were more loyal to him. They worked efficiently, creating a bureaucratic framework for all future emperors. Claudius should be praised for giving political opportunities to new groups of people such as former slaves and even the women of the imperial household, including his wives.
biased against him as they wrote many bad things which is mainly becasue of some physical limitation of Claudius. However, the lecture criticise Claudius for being partial and blames him for his downfall as he failed to control the corruption within his region.
First, the lecture refutes the idea of the passage that Claudous was an embodyment of fairness and refers to the biased behavior of him. While the passage supports him for being innovative as he conquered the island of Britain, the lecture accuse him for being rude towards the indigenos people of Britain. Moreover, the lecture provides evidence which mentions his partial behaviour while making a judgement.
Second, the passage praises Claudius for creating laws to protect the rights of slaves. However, the lecture refutes that idea and provide evidence against him in which he was accused of killing many people as he regularly arranged violent fighting games. Moreover, the lecture also mentions a civil war which occured after his killing of the previous ruler.
Finally, the lecture states that during Claudius reign black people were given unwarranted power which helped them to get involve in corruption. While the passage mentions that he created political opporunities
