Abstract
As mentioned in the Introduction, cities of considerable size were known already in ancient times. Rome is an example, with approx. 1 mio inhs and an area of 13 km2 (i.e. a radius of 2 km) already 200 after Christ. Equally large in population and size were Constantinople, Baghdad, Angkor, Hankow and Peking during the next centuries.
