The city of Rome did not have a natural barrier. The original city was on seven neighbouring hills (the Palatine, Caelian, Esquiline, Viminal, Quirinal, Capitoline, and Aventine). People liked to live on hills because they were easier to protect from raids. Later, ancient Rome grew beyond these hills.
