A strategic site for accessing Africa and Eurasia by air, land, or water is what is special about the location of the Italian Peninsula. Peninsular Italy may serve as a stopping point for air and sea craft traveling between the eastward-most and westward-most Mediterranean Sea ports and over/through the waters between Italy and the Republic's neighbors -- such as Arabic and Hebrew language-speaking nations to the south, Greek and Slavic language-speaking nations to the east, Romance language-speaking nations to the west, and Teutonic language-speaking nations to the north. The Italian peninsula also provides debarkation and embarkation points by land to eastern, northern, and southern Europe.

Where is ancient rome located?
Of course, time zones did not exist in Ancient Rome, but you can compare modern time zones with the geography. The Roman Empire spanned from modern day Spain in the West to Iraq in the East, and from North Africa in the South to Britain in the North. The ancient city of Rome was located in the same place as the city today, and so is in the same time zone as modern Rome.
How was Rome's geography different than that of Greece?
Both the Romans and the Greeks shared the Mediterranean but were separated by time, rather than geographical borders. You see the Roman Empire (30 B.C. to 1450 A.D.) encircled the entire Mediterranean Sea (including modern day Greece). The empire stretched from Britain to Spain, the North shores of Africa to Egypt, from modern day Iran to Turkey, and across most of modern day Western Europe. The Greek Empire (400 B.C. - 120 B.C.) was rather small until King Alexander of Macedon (Alexander the Great) spread the kingdom from the Greek mainland and Egypt east across the Persian Empire. However, the Geography of Italy varies greatly from that of Greece. Italy is, for the most part landlocked. As a peninsula it has much water frontage but the mainland cities are mostly inland. Greece is much more spread across vast archipelagos and has been known to be rocky. Each country has its share of mountains, cliffs, hills, and fertile soils.
In which country is the Crimean Peninsula?
The Russians and the Turks fought over the Crimea during the 19th century. It eventually became part of the Russian Empire, and then the Soviet Union. Within the Soviet Union, the peninsula was initially part of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (Russia), but was transferred to Ukraine during the 1950s. Recent events (early 2014) have resulted in Russia asserting control again over the Crimean Peninsula, although Ukraine and most of the rest of the world refuse formal recognition of that. So Russia says that the Crimean Peninsula is in Russia and the rest of the world says it is in Ukraine. Only the passage of time will tell which is true for the future.
