The reading and the lecture are both about Claudus's reign period. The author of the article feels that the emperor Claudius deserves some praise for all his achievements and personal character. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. His position is that Claudius definitely has a weak side as a leader.
According to the reading, Claudius was a genius and innovative. The article mentions that Britain was incorporated into the Roman Empire during his reign. Moreover, he created laws that gave some rights to enslaved people and built a new harbor. The lecturer challenges this argument. He claims that Claudius definitely did something good in his reign, but he also made a big mistake when he assassinated the previous emperor. Additionally, he points out that people did the same thing to him at the end of his reign.
Secondly, the author suggests that Claudius was a wise and fair judge. In the article, it is said that he was not biased towards the senate. The lecturer, however, asserts that Claudius was a terrible judge. He says that he did not listen to both sides during judging and making decisions.
Finally, the author posits that Claudius gave opportunities to new people during his reign. The author contends that Claudius gave the formerly enslaved people and women the chance to make political decisions. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is the former slaves were corrupt and accepted bribes, and his wives were untrustworthy and it was clear when one of his wives poisoned him with mushroom.
