ancient Rome was built on seven hills, but was nowhere near the Mediterranean Sea proper. Rome was/is relatively inland and its nearest sea is the Tyrrhonian sea which could be loosely called an arm of the Mediterranean.

Why was ancient Rome built on hills?

Rome was not built on hills. Rather, it developed from settlements on the hills in its area which had been there prior to its foundations. The earliest evidence of human settlements goes back to some 500 years before the foundation of the city. It is thought that Rome was formed through the unification of separate settlements on the hills which were to became the Seven Hills of Rome (the Palatine the Esquiline, the Caelian, the Quirinal, the Viminal the Capitoline and the Aventine) into a single state under the rule of a king. People liked to live on hills because they were easier to defend from raids.
