The professor and author are both talking about reign of the Roman emperor Claudius. Claudius was not acknowledged by citizen because he was aiming with physical handicaps so ancient authors have some stereotypes to his accomplishment. The lecturer refutes the opinions in the reading passage which were focusing on his good ponts. He gave two reasons to support his opinion.
First of all, the professor shows that there has been weekness to be as a leader. According to the reading material, Claudius was a innovative because he built a new harbor for Rome and made changes with new aqueducts to eliminate dirty water from the city. However, he was not good mentor for the army because he putted soldiers into danger. Soldiers followed him even they knew it was not fine. Hence, the speaker does not agree with the fact made by the writer.
Second, the author tells that the reputation Claudius has is bad because the ancient authors were well-off. The lecturer says that his wisdom related to slave problems are not reputed by people of senatorial class because slaves are accused to their violent attitudes. For example, his wife was former slave. She poisoned to Claudius and the professor refered that accident as irresponsible. Thus, he caused collopses between slaves and the society even he was eager to make better environment for slaves.
All of the reasons made in the lecture, the speaker thinks that Claudius has bad reputation by his few mistakes not because of his physical handicaps.
