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.
The article is about emperor Claudius of Rome that he is good emperor but because of he suffered from physical handicaps and spoke with a stutter, other authers ignore all of his good deeds. The article gives three reasons of support. However, the professor refures all by giving reasons of why he is not good emperor.
Firstly, the reading passage says that the emperor Claudius was among the most innovative, fair, and wise in all Roman history. However, the professor refute this by saying that he paid to army to kill previous emperor. How can one be most innovative, fair and wise while he was in power because he killed previous emperor and how could historians rememberd good things?
Secondly, the article says that Claudius has created laws to protect the rights of slaves and expand Roman citizenship to new people. However, the professor refute tthis by saying that he was a notorious emperor. He took legal decisions without listening to both sides of matters.
Finally, the reading passage says that he 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. However, the professor refute this by saying that most of his slaves and loyal people were corrupt. They give an example of his wife that his one of wifes was muderer and he was a worst ruler of that time.
