Detailed explanation-1: -The Alps and the Apennine Mountains ranges helped the Roman Republic by acting as natural barriers safeguarding the territory from attacks and supplying strategic sites during the war. The Alps also provided a roadblock that compelled invaders to move through narrow paths allowing Romans to be ready and attack.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Apennine Mountains made it difficult for people to cross from one side of the peninsula to the other. These two groups of mountains helped to protect Rome from outside attacks. The seven hills protected Rome.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rome was founded around 625 BC in the areas of ancient Italy known as Etruria and Latium. It is thought that the city-state of Rome was initially formed by Latium villagers joining together with settlers from the surrounding hills in response to an Etruscan invasion.
