The river Tiber crosses the western part of central Italy from the Apennine Mountains (which form the backbone of the Italian Peninsula) to the coast. In the early days (before bridges were built) Rome was by the only Ford of this river. This made her the most important north-south communication point in the region. The Tiber also provided a navigable link to the sea, which was 14 miles to the west.

It the early days, Rome benefitted from being by the only ford on the river Tiber. Since this river crossed the area in a east-west direction for the Apennine Mountains to the coast, this made Rome the main north-south communication point in the region. When Rome became more involved with sea trade, the Tiber provided a navigable route to the coast, which was 16 miles to her west.
