WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -According to legend, Rome was founded by the brothers Romulus and Remus in 753 B.C.E. [6]. Rome’s location provided two key advantages: its seven hills made city defense more manageable and the Tiber river supplied a steady source of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Roman aqueducts supplied fresh, clean water for baths, fountains, and drinking water for ordinary citizens.

Detailed explanation-3: -Twisting in a generally southerly direction through a series of scenic gorges and broad valleys, the Tiber flows through the city of Rome and enters the Tyrrhenian Sea of the Mediterranean near Ostia Antica.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the best-known nicknames for Rome is “The City of Seven Hills.” This is, of course, because the ancient city was built on and between seven hills, all of which make up part of the core of the modern Italian capital. The seven hills of Rome mark the ancient boundaries of the city.

Detailed explanation-5: -In Bergen, Norway, the residents dream even bigger: The city boasts not seven hills but seven mountains surrounding the city center. There are actually a lot more than seven mountains around Bergen, but the peaks most commonly included among the official seven are: Ulriken, 643 meters (2, 109 feet)
