Q. Which city is situated on the banks of Tiber River?
Answer: Rome
Notes: Rome is situated on the banks of the Tiber River. The Tiber is the third longest river in Italy and the longest river in Central Italy. It is about 406 km long and was an important river in the history of the Roman Empire.
Rome was founded on the banks of the Tiber in 753 BC. The city is also known as the City of Seven Hills or Eternal City. In 1870, Rome became the capital city of unified Italy.
The Tiber was used to ship stone, timber, and foodstuffs to Rome. The harbor at Ostia became a key naval base during the Punic Wars in the third century BC. It later became Rome's most important port, where wheat, olive oil, and wine were imported from Rome's colonies around the Mediterranean.
