Alba longa is slightly farther north than rome. it too is on the tiber river. Alba longa is said to the birthplace of romes founder Romulus and his brother Remus.
It is not sure where Alba Longa was, as it is a 'lost' town. The most likely guess is Castel Gandolfo, 15 miles SE of Rome. Alba Longa was associated with the Alban Hills, the original heartland of Latium, and was said to be at the foot of the sacred Mons Albanus (today's Monte Cavo). It is thought that it was on the western shore of lake Albano. Cemeteries of several proto-urban centres have been found along this shore and Castel Gandolfo had the largest one, suggesting that it was the nucleus of the area.

Where is Alexandria on a map of ancient rome?
Alexandria would not be found on a map of ancient Rome. Alexandria was/is far to the east in Egypt. It would be found on a map of the entire Roman empire on the coast of Egypt, slightly to the west of the Nile delta.
Is Ancient Rome Ancient Romania?
No. ancient Rome and ancient Romania were two vastly different places. Ancient Rome was in Italy on the Tiber river. Ancient Romania, was called Dacia in the times we are talking about. If you look at a map of Europe, you can see how far apart the city of Rome and the country of Romania are.
Where is an easy-read map of Ancient Rome?
Your best resource to see a map of ancient Rome would be your local public library. If your library does not have an atlas of ancient Rome, the librarian can get you one on loan from another library. You can also type in "ancient Rome/maps" on your web browser and you'll come up with many sites. The problem with the web maps is that they vary. Some will give you a map of the city of Rome itself, others give you the entire empire at different times. Some have place names, others do not, and they are usually too small to comfortably read.
Where is Rome in an Ancient Roman map?
It is in Italy. In many Roman maps Rome is placed in the very centre as they considered the city to be the centre of the world.
Did ancient rome have any rivers?
Yes, there were many rivers in the Roman territories. In fact, if you look at the map in your history book, you will see that the city of Rome is built on the banks of the Tiber river.
