The Alps were not and still are not in Rome. The Alps are the northern border of Italy, whereas Rome is in central Italy. The Alps were in the Roman Empire, not in Rome. High mountain ranges make travelling more difficult and slower. That was the disadvantage. The Alps also had the advantage of making invasions into Italy more difficult. However, this advantage was relative as towards the end of the empire, the Alemanni crossed the Alps and raided northern Italy several times. It is likely that having to cross the alps slowed down reaching Italy and gave the Roman army more time to organise its counteroffensive.

One disadvantage of the Alps in Rome is that they act as a physical barrier, making it more difficult for transportation and trade between Rome and other regions. The steep and rugged terrain of the Alps can also pose challenges for construction and infrastructure development in the city. Additionally, the Alp's cold climate can limit the agricultural potential of the region surrounding Rome.
