I agree with CCRunner: it is rarely appropriate to settle on a resource, since working it in the BFC instead usually gives you additional benefits like extra hammers, food, or commerce. I suspect the most common reason for settling on top of a resource is if you're really concerned about pillaging...
Like, for instance, a GOTM (Game Of The Month) a year or so ago which was Rome, Always War, Raging Barbarians -- say hello to wave after wave of pillagers!
Rome desperately needs to keep its iron for building those powerful praetorians, so settling on top of one of the few available sites made a lot of sense. At least one of your cities would always have access to it, and more if they could be connected via rivers or coastline so you didn't have to worry about roads being pillaged.
