Answer: Your answer would be, I believe the Mediterranean Sea. Goods were continually transported throughout the Roman Empire. The most effective way to transport goods was by sea. The type of ship commonly used by the Romans was known as a Corbitas. It is described as a round-hulled ship with curving prow and stern. Depending on its size, it could carry cargo weighing between 70 and 350 tons. Ships could carry as many as six hundred passengers or six thousand jars of wine, oil, or other liquids. Ships transported more goods in a shorter amount of time than could be moved overland. For example, it took only two to three weeks by ship to go from Egypt to Rome. In order to increase the effectiveness of shipping, the Romans developed deep harbors at key locations. One of the largest harbors was at Ostia, about 15 miles from Rome on the Mediterranean Coast. In A.D. 50, a lighthouse was set up at Ostia to guide sailors. At its peak, Rome set up lighthouses in forty different locations to aid sailors.

Hope this helps :)

Why do you think that presidents in recent years have given vice presidents more responsibilities? Give two reasons and explain

lbvjy [14]

The Vice president in my opinion is almost a second president. The vice president's main use in this century is to replace the president in a dire emergency. This is why we almost never see the VP and President together. The president is only one man and it is almost impossible for him to do everything that is needed in the time that he is alloted in office. This is why the VP has many other duties, to help and support his partner.

What factors might influence where a city would develop

Vitek1552 [10]

<span>There are several important factors that influence where a city would develop. Factors like water source, trade routes, connectivity and location are some of the most important factors determining the position of a city. The people living in the city or the industries coming up in the city would require a constant and good source of water. So this is a very important factor. Connectivity of the city via different means of transport is another important factor. There has to be several trade routes connecting the city with other important cities. </span>
