Ancient Rome was very much full of fertile soil which was great for farming. This was one of the many reasons people decided to settle down in the Italian Peninsula and why the Ancient Roman Empire eventually formed. Historians theorize that people moved from northern Europe into the Italian Peninsula because of its fertile soil and that the first people settled in Rome. Rome was built in a great place since it was on a river and the surrounding farmland was very lush and fertile. Rome was also built on several hills which helped prevent invasion and gave them a heads up on any invading forces. Rome also developed bridges from which they could cross the Tiber River which made many people go through Rome. Rome had an amazing climate and geography which helped a lot in its development.
