Rise of the Roman Empire Climate and Geographic Factors

Because the Roman Empire was so vast, the climate was different depending on where you were. The climate on the Northwest corner of the Roman Empire is totally different from the climate on the south east. Because of this, i am focusing on the climate of the city of Rome.

- Rome is the capital city of the Roman Empire. - Rome can get extremely hot during the summer, reaching temperatures of 35C - Sudden rainstorms are common and can be very intense, which is one of the reasons Rome had a sewer system. - It can rain all year long in Rome because temperatures rarely drop below 0 degrees. - The Roman Empire had a drastic expansion During it's rise mostly thanks to the Excellent rule of Augustus. - One of the Largest expansions was capturing Egypt in 30BC - Augustus was a good ruler but not a very good military commander, so he relied on a man named Agrippa to take charge of most of his battles for him - The only campaign Augustus ever commanded was The Cantabrian War. The War ended in a successful Roman Victory. - At it's Largest, the Roman empire took up most of modern day Europe.
