Detailed explanation-1: -Historians have determined that Rome began as a collection of small settlements located on seven hills near the Tiber River in Italy around 753 BCE. Rome is located in the center of Italy on a peninsula.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rome began as a small village near the Tiber River in Italy on a peninsula close to the Mediterranean Sea. The city was also far enough inland to provide some protection from the sea. The Tiber River was a source of freshwater and rich soil needed to support the development of people, animals, and crops of Rome.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Tiber River originates in the Apennine Mountains, in northwest Italy. It winds south across the middle of the peninsula, through Rome, and continues further south where it joins the Aniene River before emptying into the Tyrrhenian Sea on Italy’s west coast.
