Detailed explanation-1: -Rome developed about 15 miles from where the Tiber River empties into the Mediterranean Sea. This distance provided Rome with additional protection, because invaders had to move inland from the coast to arrive in the city.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rome’s location in the Mediterranean Sea made it easier to travel to foreign lands in around the sea like North Africa, to conquer new territories, and to develop trade routes. Through these trade routes, Romans came in contact with lots of different people with whom they traded goods, ideas, and technology.
Detailed explanation-3: -The capital city of the Roman Empire was of course Rome, in modern-day Italy. However, the Roman Empire’s Geography stretched all the way from England to Egypt, and in between: the Mediterranean basin. Different areas of the Roman Empire, e.g. Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia, were ruled by different emperors.
