Latin homework: Is this a correct translation from English to Latin?
The English sentence: In the streets of Rome were there many dangers?
My translation: Erant in viis Romanae ibi multae pericula?
Is is necessary to have the word "ibi" in the sentences? The word Roman should be written in ablative case "Romanis" or Gentive, "Romanae"?

Erantne multae pericula in viis Romae? .
Ibi - No you don't need it and it's wrong to include it.
The form is Romae, of Rome. NOT Romanae, of Roman
To make a question from a statement in Latin, you can't simply mess with the word order. If there is no interrogative word, you add the enclitic '-ne' to the first word of the sentence.
