Rome was built on seven hills at the bank of the tiber river. Rome is around the center of the italian peninsula. Italy had many hills and mountains but were easier to travel over than the mountains on Greece.
Historians hold the view that Rome was founded on a group of seven hills located in the present-day Lazio region of Italy. These hills, named Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal, and Viminal are located on the Tiber River's eastern bank, in the heart of the city of Rome.
