The earliest city in history to have a million inhabitants was?

Answer 1

Rome, Italy in 133 BC

______________

There's no evidence for any city reaching a million before the 19th century. ancient Rome covered less than 14 sq km, making a peak population much over half a million highly improbable. Much the same goes for other ancient, medieval and early modern claimants at a time when few countries could sustain more than a tenth of their population in all their towns.

That leaves London, Beijing and Tokyo, of which the first is the earliest known to have had a million, around 1810 (the date varies with the area considered to be included in the then metropolis). Paris followed around 1835. Including Brooklyn, New York reached a million shortly before 1860.

Answer 2

The first ancient city that reached one million population was Rome, capital of the Roman Empire. The above is not documented fact. the first city to reach one million population with documented evidence to support this fact is London (Circa 1811)
