Let’s Check Our Work

The plain on which Rome is located is called the Latium Plain.

The mountain ranges to the east and north of Rome are the Apennines and the
Alps.

The 3 bodies of water that the Roman Empire touched are the Mediterranean
Sea, Black Sea, and Atlantic Ocean.

The Tiber River connects Rome to the Mediterranean Sea.

The features that formed the central northern boundary of the Roman Empire
are the Danube River, the Carpathian Mountains, and the Rhine River.

Besides Britain, the major territories controlled by Rome in the year 117 CE
were Spain, Gaul, Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Judea, and Egypt.

The Sahara Desert formed the southern boundary of the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire stretched 2,500 miles from east to west.
Critical Thinking
 Consider the location of the Italian peninsula. How might this
location have helped the Romans control trade in the
Mediterranean region?
 How might the mountain ranges of Italy have affected
people’s lives in ancient times?
 Were the Romans more likely to choose a land or a water
route to Spain? Ex- plain your answer.
 At one time, the Romans avoided sea travel because the
Italian peninsula had few good harbors. What evidence can
you find to support the argument that this geographical
drawback was eventually overcome?
Processing
 What geographic features contributed to the growth of
Rome's vast empire?
