Death and Renewal. Volume 2: Sociological Studies in Roman
History (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985). However,
see Walter Scheidel, ‘From the “Great Convergence” to the “First
Great Divergence”: Roman and Qin-Han State Formation and Its
Aftermath’, in Rome and China: Comparative Perspectives on Ancient
World Empires, ed. by Walter Scheidel (Oxford: Oxford University

the early empire probably numbered around 300,000. Ramsay
MacMullen, ‘How Big Was the Roman Imperial Army?’, Klio, 62
(1980), 451–60. See Tacitus, Annals 4.5. - The population of the Roman empire as a whole is difficult
to calculate but a figure of about 50 million would be accepted by
most in the field. See Keith Hopkins, ‘Taxes and Trade in the Roman
Empire (200 B.C.-A.D. 400)’, The Journal of Roman Studies, 70
(1980), 101–125 (p. 118). However, Frier cautions that estimates of
the gross population of the empire can be not more than a guess. See
