Because of its central location on the Mediterranean coast, Italy was an early world center of shipping and commerce, and, therefore, prospered and affected other mediterranean cultures. As the capitol, Rome took the cream of prosperity. Also, every rode in the surrounding areas led to Rome, causing it to be a popular center of land commerce in and of itself. The Roman culture was also more advanced than most outlying areas because, as merchants came in with business and news of the outside world, the Romans prospered mentally as well.

Because it was on the peninsula and in the center of the Mediterranean it was near many of the locations it concerned. The tip of Italy is extremely close to Carthage as well as many other locations in Africa that it took over, and the East of Italy is near Greece as well as the rest of Asia Minor.
The position of ancient Rome in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, was a strategic one. It in a sense had a "view" of the Mediterranean world and with the acquisition of the island of Sicily, Rome could control sea traffic on both sides of this sea. In a sense the growth of Rome into a world power was not a planned empire by any means. When it became necessary to conquer a nation that seemed like a threat, it continued to occupy that nation in order to curtail any threats from that area.
