What was the relatively most populous city in history?
score:30
Accepted answer
I've combined the data in:
The winners are:
- Modern Tokyo (metropolitan area), home to 0.55% of the world's population
- 700 AD Chang'an, home to 0.44% of the world's population
- 200 AD Rome, home to 0.42% of the world's population
1 AD Rome, 400 AD Rome, and 1900 AD London follow, all three being home to 0.40% of the world's population at the time.
Please keep in mind that all numbers here are vague estimates.
