    The Empire of Rome dominated most of Europe and much of Africa and the Middle East. What is often overlooked though is the key role Rome's geography played in it's rise to power. There were two mountain ranges, the Alps and the Apennines protected Rome from invasion because it acted as a natural barrier to prevent armies from invading in those areas. This also forced enemies to push through narrow passages, allowing time for Rome to set up and defend. The fertile land in Rome also allowed for extensive amounts of agriculture. It is often cited that the soil in Rome is some of the most fertile soil in Europe. Finally Rome benefited from it position, allowing to become a center for trade. Rome was positioned in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, which made Rome a very desirable place for trade, even before Rome rose to power. All in all Rome's natural barriers, fertile land, and central location played a key role in its rise to power.

Italy is a peninsula,which means that it has water on three sides. This was a natural barrier that kept groups from entering Italy without being detected by the Romans, and also served as protection. Italy also has two mountain rages (Apennines and Alps) that helped protect Rome from invasion. The river valleys made the area ideal for agriculture and allowed the population to grow. Italy is centered in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea which gave Rome an ideal location for trade.

What is a legion rome and why was it created??
Alex73 [517]

A Roman legion (from Latin legio "military levy, conscription", from legere "to choose") was the largest unit of the Roman army involving from 3000 men in early times to over 5200 men in imperial times, consisting of centuries as the basic units. Until the middle of the first century, 10 cohorts (about 5,000 men) made up a Roman Legion. This was later changed to nine cohorts of standard size (with 6 centuries at 80 men each) and one cohort, the first cohort, of double strength (5 double-strength centuries with 160 men each).

In the early Roman Kingdom the "legion" may have meant the entire Roman army but sources on this period are few and unreliable. The subsequent organization of legions varied greatly over time but legions were typically composed of around five thousand soldiers, divided during the republican era into three lines of ten maniples, and from about 100 BC into ten cohorts. Legions also included a small ala or cavalry unit. By the third century AD, the legion was a much smaller unit of about 1,000 to 1,500 men, and there were more of them. In the fourth century AD, East Roman border guard legions (limitanei) may have become even smaller.

For most of the Roman Imperial period, the legions formed the Roman army's elite heavy infantry, recruited exclusively from Roman citizens, while the remainder of the army consisted of auxiliaries, who provided additional infantry and the vast majority of the Roman army's cavalry. (Provincials who aspired to citizenship gained it when honourably discharged from the auxiliaries). The Roman army, for most of the Imperial period, consisted mostly of auxiliaries rather than legions. :) hope this helps you out
