In ancient times, Rome's geographic setting affected its growth in numerous ways. Being centrally located on the Italian peninsula, and along the Tiber River, ensured that it would be a trading center. At the same time, it would also be required to defend itself from its many neighbors, although the seven hills on which the city grew was helpful in this regard. Being situated near the Mediterranean Sea also encouraged trade (and prosperity), while it forced Rome to become a naval as well as a land power.
Rome was on the Alps to the north protected Rome from major invasion plus being on the Tiber river it gave the Romans access to the Mediterranean for trade and was far enough inland that the Romans would have advanced warning if enemies tried to come by sea. So basically, it had lots of protection, and a flurishing trade system.
In the early days of Rome the advantages of her location were that she was in a hilly area (the Seven Hills of Rome). People liked to live on hills because they were easier to defend from raids; the local volcanic rocks provided good building material. The city was on the only Ford on the river Tiber which crossed the region in an east-west direction from the mountain chain of the Apennines to the coast, which made the Rome main north-south communication point in the region. The river Tiber provided a navigable route to the coast, which was 16 miles to the west. Rome's closeness to the Apennine Mountains made it easier to bring water for these mountains by building aqueducts when with her population growth the demand for water exceeded the local supply. The disadvantage was that Rome was surrounded by several peoples who often attacked her and she often had to defend herself on more than one front.
Romans established a Republic.
how did the geographic location of Rome influenced its expansion?
Rome's geography is similar to Greece's because they are both part of the Mediterrenean countries. Although there are many differences-Rome & Greece both have parts in their countires where land is so barren you only have good enought soil for pasturage ~Nick4evr~
They gave us the idea of a tripartite government; with a legislative,judicial, and executive branch.
Rome was successful through military success. She won many wars she fought for different reasons and at different time over the course of several centuries. These military victories led to Roman expansion and to Rome becoming the dominant power in the Mediterranean, the Balkan Peninsula, the Alpine region, Gaul and Britain.
Marc Antony lost influence in Rome because he refused to leave the east, Egypt and Cleopatra to come to Rome to defend himself against the charges that Octavian was claiming against him. Although even at the time of Actium, he had many supporters, they still needed his personal leadership rather than surrogates. Because of this prolonged absence much of his Roman support eroded away.
Titus Fulvius Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius was indeed the emperor of Rome at the peak of its power and influence. He reigned from 138 to 161 AD.

It was protected from the north by mountains. It had easy access to trade due to water on three sides. The geography of Rom affect its expansion because it was located in the middle of Mediterranean. It gave Rome a quick access to different locations that were nearby to defeat and conquer the surrounding lands and allowing it to expand.
The expansion in the number of conquered people did not affect Rome's expansion because it was the product of her expansion.
