Geography of Rome


Why would Rome have been a good place to found a city?
Rome would have been a good place to found a city because it is naturally barricaded from its neighbors, has good sources of water, and has lots of good land for farming and agricultural purposes. 


Why would the Italian Peninsula have been a good place to start an empire?
The Italian Peninsula would have been a good place to start an empire because of its land, being great for growing crops and having water on 3 sides of it helped in a few ways. In one way, it helped them discover new trade routes, and helped ships sail around. It also allowed them to conquer new territories.  The mountains may not have isolated the Italian Peninsula, but it did protect it.
