How did ancient Rome benefit from being on the Italian peninsula?

The city of Rome had an excellent founding location because it was on a river that led to the Mediterranean Sea. This allowed trade over the Sea, while the actual city was protected from pirate/viking raids. Next, the abundant fish in the sea surrounding the peninsula encouraged rapid growth, thus providing Rome with a large population which could be utilized to conquer and populate other lands.
