Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard, explaining how they cast doubt on points made in the reading.
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.
In contrary to the lecture, the reading passage focuses on the important characteristic of Empire Claudius, the lecture emphasizes on the bad sides of the empire's work. The reading passage presents the Empire Claudius, as an innovative, free thinker, and advanced slave and womem in politices. Whereas, the lecture tells that the king was not an innovative, a tyrrany and opprasive king.
The first point, the reading passage mentions that the king was very innovative and made many constructions like a new harbor and acqueducts. Therefore, the he was a very good ruler of Rome. However, in the lecture the professor says that he was a tyrrany king and killed previous king by soldiers and also killed many men for the ammusement. Therefor the king was a worst of that time ammong the Roman Empire.
Second point, the professor mentions that the Empire Claudius was not elected by the senetors and shifted their role with the his faithful slaves.Additionally, he also mentions that, the slaves are corrupted and took bribe. Nevertheless, the reading passage mentions that the Empire creaded a new scope for the new people like the slave and women.
Finally, the reading passage mentions that the Empire made opportunity for the slave and women, even he brought his wives to politices. On the other hand, the lecture mentions that the king was very inexperienced to choose his next king. The Empire choose his incapable son Nero to the next empire. Whats more, the Empire's last wife killed him with the poison.
In conclusion, the reading passage brings out positive characteristics of the Empire, whereas the lecture finds out the bad characteristics and works of the Empire Claudius.
