How many cities were there in the roman empire?

The Romans ruled thousands of cities. The Roman Empire was the 15th largest empire in history. At its greatest extent it had an area of 6,500,000 km² (2,509,664 sq. mi). It covered western Europe from the south up to the mouth of the river Rhine and central Germany, the Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) the Middle East west to Iran and north of Saudi Arabia, and North Africa.

The empire completely circled the Mediterranean ... referred to by its conquerors as mare nostrum—'our sea'.


What was the population of Rome in its height?

60 million people (or as much as 1/5 of the world's population) claimed citizenship of Rome and as many as 120 million people may have lived within its borders. ________________ Estimates of around 100m need to be taken with a pinch of salt. Modern estimates tend to range between 50 and 80 million for the total population.
