Why would the Italian Peninsula have been a good place to start an empire?

The Italian Peninsula would have been a great place to start an empire because they could defend there home turf with ease being on the hills. So they were good at home, also if they wanted to go out and conquer they could bring many troops with them because they only need to leave a few at Rome because of the high ground advantage.

After the battle a Greek messenger ran all the way from Marathon to Athens (26.2 Miles) hence the race today called the marathon.
