Geography and Climate


The geography and climate in and around Rome made it a good place to settle and it attracted other people which made it grow.  Although, there were mountains, they were less rugged than in Greece so people could cross them and communities were not so isolated from each other.  The large plains were good from farming.  The nice climate and good soil attracted people to the area.  Rome also grew because of where it was located.  The Tiber River gave Rome a regular supply of water and connected it will the Mediterranean sea meaning easy access to the rest of the world.
