The five major advantages for Roman civilization (location, location, location!) Click Here The central location of Italian peninsula in the western Mediterranean basin creates a natural crossroads for trade and cultural exchange. Rome is distant from other eastern Mediterranean powers during its early years. The Mediterranean Sea provides protection and offers ports for trading, The Alps provide protection from invading land forces, The Po and Tiber River valleys provide optimum areas for settlement

6 Let the stealing (I mean “cultural diffusion”) begin!
Click Here Roman civilization does not have its own religion or mythology at first. Roman religion is instead based on Greek religion as passed down possibly from Livius Andronicus (a freed Greek slave between 272 to 207 BCE/BC. Just like Greek gods and goddesses, Roman gods and goddesses provided explanations of natural phenomena, human qualities, and life events Unlike Greek mythology, Roman mythology influences western symbols, art, architecture, literature, politics, and culture Romans create multiple additional gods for almost every aspect of daily life) Look familiar?
