The development and rise of the Roman Empire is definitely affected on the geography and climate. the weather was nice, sunny, yet not to hot. the normal temperature in the Empire was a decent 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. The soil was excellent for growing crops, and raising cattle and livestock.
Ancient Rome began as a tiny town along the Tiber River. Residents were able to walk freely, and were able to fetch water from the river to drink or to bathe with no cost. There was no ruler, so the people of the small city of Rome could claim the beautiful hills and natural field of gain. Rome was surrounded by 7 natural hills, so the people had a natural protection. the river also provided a trade route and an irrigation system.
Greece, on the other hand, was a natural, beautiful land, with the most magnificent limestone cliffs, and rocky mountains of building the monuments that are still seen today. The most famous Greek monument is the Athena Parthenon. that building is built on a huge, 316 foot cliff, in Athens Greece. Like the Romans, the Greeks had a steady water supply, and a very heave fish load. Since most of the Greek city-states are near the coast on the Balkan Peninsula, fish was a popular food to eat at any banquet. For those city-states who are not on the coast, wild Goat,and wild pig hunted yourself was one of the main food sources in the countryside. Growing your own crops was the other main food source out there in the mountains.
