Rome's location, being loosely in the center of the Mediterranean area, gave it the ability to expand in all four directions, which it did. They could carry out both trade and troop movements by land and by sea. The city of Rome itself was protected from land attacks by its hills and by sea attacks by the fact that it was 15 miles inland-- close enough to use the sea, but far enough away to be safe from sea or pirate raids.

∙ 9y agoLook at a map. Rome is not located on the Mediterranean. It is located off the Tyrrhenian Sea and that is about fifteen miles from Rome itself. The Tyrrhenian can be loosely called a branch or arm of the Mediterranean, just as it the Adriatic or Ionian seas. However this was an ideal location for an expansionist society such as ancient Rome. They were far enough inland to be relatively safe from pirate or coastal raids (while still having access to the sea) and the terrain around the city itself provided strong defensive positions. The Tiber was easy to cross near the city for inland expansion. Being located in just about the center of the Mediterranean world, Rome had the options of expanding in all four directions, which it did.
