Now, thanks, but I really wanted the name of the two or three largest cities after Rome. The question is not really precise. One, I wanted to ask about the Western Roman Empire - in the Eastern Roman Empire Constantinople was the major city, not Rome. Two, I didn't ask for an exact year: Surely the population changed through the years. In year 100 AD, this site suggests that Alexandria, Antioch, Carthage and Smyrna were the largest cities after Rome, but I don't know if that's correct. http://geography.about.com/library/weekly/aa011201a.htm The largest of them all, after Rome (according to the previous reference) was Seleucia, or Seleucia on the Tigris, which supposedly had 250,000 inhabitants in 100 AD.
