Answer 2

1. Since they were 14 miles from the coast it protected them from invaders a bit more. If they were right next to the coast they would be in greater danger and at a disadvantage because invaders could just boat over there to them.

Answer 3

Thanks @anicheese

Answer 4

what was you question?

Answer 5

I already figured my question out and 2. Since Rome was on a plateau I would guess it also( kind of) protected them from enemies. They were at a disadvantage because they didnt have access to certain crops because they were up on a plateau, so they had to rely on goats milk, olives and other crops.

#3 the Tiber River was a great help to them because they could easily transport goods, and go places. Also, they had a disadvantage because the river frequently flooded. Also, the water was not drinkable so they got their from wells.
