Detailed explanation-1: -Rome is located in the central portion of the Italian peninsula, on the Tiber River about 15 miles (24 km) inland from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Detailed explanation-2: -The topography of Rome-the advantage of the hills and the river-likely was a boon in the city’s struggles against all of its neighbors. Likewise, the topography of Italy proper, with the Alps and the Appenines providing natural defenses in the north, hampered invasions from the outside.
Detailed explanation-3: -The original city of Romulus was built upon Palatine Hill (Latin: Mons Palatinus). The other hills are the Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine (known respectively in Latin as the Mons Capitolinus, Mons Quirinalis, Mons Viminalis, Mons Esquilinus, Mons Caelius, and Mons Aventinus).
Detailed explanation-4: -Protection From Invasion. Two mountain ranges, the Alps and the Apennines, helped to protect Rome from invasion. Fertile Land. Center of Trade. Diversity of Population.
