About this ebook
The Tiber River begins in the Apennine Mountains in Central Italy. It flows through Umbria, Tuscany, Lazio and Rome before emptying into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Ostia.
The Tiber carries a lot of mud and silt, which constantly blocks its mouth. It floods often, providing fertile land for agriculture and burying cities. It has also been a dumping ground for executed criminals.
