The population estimates of the cities of the Roman Empire in 117 AD.

Symbols are proportional to estimated population. After Hanson & Ortman 2017.

Been having fun comparing maps and trying to identify some of the major locations. The big one in Egypt is obviously Alexandria, while the next-biggest is probably Thebes. The large one in Syria I’m sure is Antioch, and the big one in Libya I assume is Leptis Magna.
