Explain in detail how the geography and climate of the Italian peninsula affected the development of ancient Rome.
Rome grew and was built into a great city by its victories over apposing tribes. It spread from South to East. Rome also pushed toward the Alps in the North. The geography of where Rome is set it great because of how close it is to the sea, but also towards the center of the Italian peninsula, both these actions provided great trading opportunities also it faces towards the alps giving it good protection against attacks. After being taken over by Carthage Rome began to build strong sea forces and soon controlled most of the Mediterranean area by them. Also Rome was on an area that used to be volcanic meaning that rocks for building were easy to come by.
