Early Rome was mainly agricultural as most pre-industrial societies. When it was an average sized town by the standards of the day, many inhabitants were engaged in agriculture or pastoralism. Rome's area had average quality soil fertility. Already at an early time, Rome expanded, seizing nearby territory to ensure adequate food supplies as many independent towns did in those days.
Other factors that played a part in the settlement of Rome were the existence of several hills close to each other (people liked to settle on hills because they were easier to defend against raiding which was common in those days), a good water supply, volcanic rock (which made for good building material) and the river Tiber. Rome was by the only Ford on this river, which made her the main north-south crossing point, and thus a good location for trade. Eventually, the river also facilitated trade from the sea. A port was built on the rive near the Palatine Hill.

On Fertile Lands was created in 1980.
Lands both sides of the river for its full length. See the link below.

Well the soil was not the best around the deserts but around the Nile river it was very good
The NILE of course. the Nile overflows ones/few nights a year--as a result, it would fertile the lands and the people would be able to farm. If it does not overflow, the agriculture there would be in big trouble.

The Egyptian fertile land was called Kemet (=Black Land) because of the fertile soil in the Nile river lands. Their desert land was called Red Landl

A group of farmers leave their homes to search for more fertile lands elsewhere.
Ancient farmers in the Fertile Cresent made their land more productive by using the Tigris and Euphrates River to make land more fertile
