From the refs below it the Roman Empire may have had a population of very roughly 45 million in 100CE (based on estimates given from 14CE and 350CE) and that in 100CE the army included roughly 400,000 soldiers all in. So almost 1 in 100 which is close to your initial estimate before the quadrupling. Also do you have any reference to the urban/rural split or was than a personal estimate? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_Roman_Empire | |
