Tiber River : the Tiber river as the oldest road of Rome (658 words)
The River Tiber (Italian Tevere), the third-longest river in Italy at 406 km (252 miles) after the Po and the Adige: it flows through Rome in its course from Mount Fumaiolo to the Tyrrhenian sea, which it reaches in two branches that cross the suburbs of Ostia -Isola Sacra (south) and Fiumicino (north).
Rivers were a very important natural resource in ancient Rome: they irrigated the surroundings farmlands, provided fresh water and were used for trade and transport.
Popularly called flavus, "the blonde river", the Tiber is heavily charged with sediment but does not form a proportionable Delta, owing to a strong north-flowing sea current close to the shore, to the steep shelving of the coast, and to slow tectonic subsidence.
