No it is not. It is in a hilly area. ancient Rome was on the famous Seven Hills of Rome. Modern Rome is on more than a dozen hills. According to the Roman writer, Varro, before the city was named Rome, it was called "Septimontium" in reference to the seven hills which were within in the city limits. However there is debate over which hills were included.
Rome's location was excellent for defense because it was/is located on hills which are easier to defend as the army would be firing down on those enemies who were trying to climb up and fight at the same time.
The hills were great lookout places incase enemys come to attack. Also, it is easier to attack from uphill because any one going up a hill would get tired running up. The aim is better from the top of a hill.
The Hills Hoist clothes drier was invented in 1945.
