Melilla's site for the longest time was probably relatively small at around 10 ha.
Ceuta's site at the other hand was probably one of a major city at this point, with a site of around 100 ha. 1200 estimates put the population at 40,000 (though probably too high).
Tangier supposedly did not grow much outside its Roman walls until the modern era, with its enclosed site measuring about 20 ha.
For all these sites, an estimate population density of around 150 to 250 people per hectare is assumed. While this is error prone, this is a realistic method used by multiple professional estimates.
