Ancient Rome’s Geography: Built on Hills, Ruled the World
Rome was built on seven hills (because one just wasn’t dramatic enough), right by the Tiber River, which was great for water, trade, and the occasional myth about babies in baskets.
Surrounded by mountains and smack in the middle of the Mediterranean, Rome said, “Perfect — let’s conquer everything we can see!”
Basically: great location for pizza delivery and building an empire.
