Wow. The crisis of the third century was no joke.

Btw, probably Lugdunum should be changed to Lyon, given that all the other names are given in English (Rome, Milan, Athens...)

I don't understand. Why did the population drop so precipitously at that point in time?

Nice quiz, however you seem to have more cities in the west, even though the east was way more urbanized. For example Nicomedia, Nicaea, Miletus, Sardis, Smyrna, Tarsus, Apamea, Emesa, Damascus, Jerusalem etc seem to be missing.

My source is this Wikipedia page

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_urban_community_sizes

I’m double checking the statistics, it’s possible I missed these cities, or maybe were for some reason excluded from the Wikipedia page

Anyone know what happened to Philippi? Went from 100,000 people in 1 AD to presumably less than 10,000 only 100 years later?

for 300 AD there is an error, population of rome was still 800k. (i checked also with the source you provided).

Reduce the horizontal padding a bit. 300 and 400 AD are getting cut off on the right side. (Can't see the E in Constantinople!)
