The Romans valued the Alps for several reasons, including their strategic military importance, as they served as a natural barrier against invasions. The region also offered valuable resources such as minerals and timber, which were essential for construction and trade. Additionally, the Alps provided a scenic retreat and opportunities for leisure activities, contributing to their cultural appreciation of the landscape. The mountains facilitated trade routes, connecting different parts of the empire and enhancing economic prosperity.

The elephants taken to Italy mostly died in the Alps, and so were not a force to be reckined with. A Zama, the 80 elepkants were scared by Romans blowing horns, and turned back, inflicting harm on the Carthaginina battle line.
No. Ephesus surroundered to Romans. So there was an invasion but not like a war.
The glaciers in the Alps are melting. So much so that ski resort owners, worried about their businesses, are covering some of the ice with blankets to slow it melting in summer. See the link below.
The Romans did not expect that Hannibal would attack Italy, did not expect that he would march from Spain so quickly and that he would cross the Alps in the winter, which was thought impossible. They did not expect that he would stir up a rebellion by the recently defeated Gauls of northern Italy either.
the alps are so wide that i bet Einstein doesn't know!!
Yes it is. You can see the Alps from Lucerne, so it is close to them.
The Rockies have a lower elevation but higher latitude than the alps. So the alps are higher than the Rockies.
Romans don't like Jews because of their beliefs. So, they concocted a plan to attack them.
Architecture to a degree. By the times the Romans came to Britain they were just about on the out, so not as much remained as it could have.
Switzerland is known for the Alps, but so are Liechtenstein and Austria.
Oh, dude, the Alps were like this massive wall, right? They made it super hard for people to trade goods back in the day. But hey, humans being humans, we built tunnels, roads, and even railways to like, overcome that obstacle. So now, commerce can flow through the Alps like it's no big deal.
