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.

Why do people have different views about the roman empire?

The Roman Empire was a large, historically influential empire that lasted for about a thousand years (longer, if we include the Eastern Roman Empire, or the subsequent Holy Roman Empire) and it did many different things, some good, and some bad, and some which might have been either good or bad, depending upon how you look at them.
