    Default Classical/Hellenic city populations

    Hey, was wandering what would be a typical population for a large city in Greece and the surrounding lands during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. No need for specifics-roughs will do, just to get an idea. I know they would obviously vary between city and events of the time, but any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Tanks in advance

    here look at this link. I would say the usual population would probably be from 50,000 to 100,000 for a city in Greece and the surrounding islands. Also, there was a huge population boom from Classical to Hellenistic times.
