Milan, older than Rome, is a full day's walk away from any major rivers (the Po). Persepolis and Jerusalem had no ports or navigable rivers.

Baltimore is another fun inclusion: why did they put it on a dead-end harbor instead of at the mouth of the Susquehanna? This created a lot of interior access problems until railways were invented--ditto for Boston and the Merrimack

On that note--isn't it weird that New Haven is nowhere near the mouth of the Connecticut? Even tho Hartford is on the river...people had to go overland between them, eventually building canals, but no better location rose to prominence over NH
