The population of the Roman Empire was one of the largest and most diverse in the ancient world. At its peak, the empire had an estimated population of over 45 million people, spread across three continents and numerous provinces. The Roman Empire was characterized bya complex and evolving sys...
How big was the Persian Empire at its peak? What was important about the location of the Persian Empire? What was the largest empire of the ancient Middle East? What did the Persian Empire invent? How big was the Persian Empire's army?
1. This period correlates with Roman Empire times, with population of nearly 40 million and probably even 70 million at its peak. At that time, the global population is estimated to 190–200 million99,100. The rise, fall, and grand achievement of the Roman Empire is a topic of continuous...
From its beginnings in the Near East, agriculture spread into Europe from 9000 to 6000 years ago through two main routes: a northern terrestrial route into northern-central Europe, and a rapid southern maritime route which followed the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea7,8. The central Medi...
The transition to farming brought on a series of important changes in human society, lifestyle, diet and health. The human bioarchaeology of the agricultural transition has received much attention, however, relatively few studies have directly tested the
I need hardly point out to you that this calculation would tend to keep the sum total of the world's population in a state of perpetual equipoise whereas it is a well-known fact that the said sum total is constantly on the increase. I would therefore take the liberty of suggesting that...
Economic exchange was clearly very important as the Roman army brought with it very substantial spending power. Locally a fort had two kinds of impact. Its large population needed food and other supplies. Some of these were certainly brought from long distances, but demands were inevitably ...

Species that have been translocated and otherwise manipulated by humans may show patterns of population structure that reflect those interactions. At the same time, natural processes shape populations, including behavioural characteristics like dispersal potential and breeding system. In Europe, a key facto...
