How LARGE was Ancient Romeg

After carefully examining all the data wo
have all tho statements Of the variousancient
writers who aliude TO II, and all the facts
which seem TO bear on the question am
convinced that in estimating the number at
1000, 900, am rather undertaking than over
stating it It is much more probable that it
was larger than that it was smaller. De
Quincy also estimates the inhabitants Of
Rome at 10000 / win only cite one fact,
and then Leave this question The Circus
Maximus was constructed to bold $50 1000, or,
according TO Victor, at later period prob
ably, 3S5, 900 spectators. Taking the smaller
number, then, it would be | in l6 Of all the
inhabitants If there were 100000 But as
one-half the population was composed OF
slaves, who must be struck out Of the spec
tators, when tho circus was built there would
be accommodation then for in of the total
population, excluding slaves. Reducing again
the number one-half by striking out the WON
en-, there would be room for l in 4. Again
striking out the young children and the old
men and the sick and impotent, you would
have accommodation for nearly the whole
population Is it possible 10 believe that th'
