The Hills of Rome provided a degree of protection against raids in the early days. The rock of the hills was volcanic, which provided good material for stone buildings. The River Tiber provided a navigable route to the sea. The proximity to the Apennine Mountains (which form the backbone of the Italian Peninsula) made it possible for the Romans to build their famous aqueducts.
