The Apennines mountains split modern day Italy in half. Although they were still mountains, they were very easy to cross, unlike the mountains in Greece. This helps when Italy was being attacked, for they could easily contract and win. These mountains also helped for surprise attacks and safety. People would probably not live here due to the fact it would be hard to get supplies to their home.

The Tyrrhenian Sea:
The Tyrrhenian Sea is important because it is the sea in between Italy and the Island of Sardinia. Ships often sailed in this sea, wither carrying cargo or a military ship, it was connecting the mainland and the Island. It also provided food for people living in Italy and on Sardinia.  Many people might want to live here because there are often big populations by the sea due to all of the resources the sea provides.

The Plains:
Unlike in Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome had plains as a part of their geography. This provided Rome with great farmland, and therefore plenty of food. This also meant it would not be very hard to grow from one side of Italy to another, because so much of it was plains. Lots of people would live here because it is nice flat land, and very to travel to . They could also grow their own food, and not have to spend tons of money.

The Alps:
The Alps stretch across the boot of Rome, which provides as border to Italy.  This Helped to protect Rome, because they had a sort of natural barrier, that was very hard to cross. If anybody wanted to attack Rome, it would take a very long time to get into Rome, because they would have to take very narrow passes.  Not a lot of people would want to live here because not only could there be dangers like landslides and bad weather, it is difficult. Most of the settlement was more south due to the mountains. ]]> 2018-05-07 13:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/slkeeling/btr8tb1du38d/wish/258515586 slkeeling https://padlet.com/slkeeling/btr8tb1du38d/wish/260307414 The Apennines Mountains 
The Apennines Mountains were bad because they split Italy in half. Now if someone wanted to get from one side to another, they would have to cross mountains. They were also bad because there is a fault line in these mountains, so that can cause trouble. 
The Tyrrhenian Sea
The Tyrrhenian sea was bad because it caused many deaths. Whether it was from fighting battles in the Punic wars or just sailing a ship between Italy and Sardinia, people died because of it. The Tyrrhenian Sea could have big waves that could take down whole boats, or drown people on the ship.

The Plains
The plains were bad because the only thing they could really do was grow food. They weren't by the ocean, which would have given the people living there more goods and probably a better life.

The Alps
The Alps were bad because they were hard to cross.  If you lived in Italy and wanted to get out, besides boat, it was extremely difficult. They also caused the land around it to have very bad weather. ]]> 2018-05-14 02:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/slkeeling/btr8tb1du38d/wish/260307414 slkeeling https://padlet.com/slkeeling/btr8tb1du38d/wish/260999849
