Depends on the region tbqh

Helsinki

No jokes?

London n1
NYC n2
Rome n3
Paris n4

Rome is probably the most important city, all aspects of humanity considered.

Then you have Jerusalem > Paris > Istanbul > "insert american metropolis"

London should be in there for the industrial revolution.. perhaps after Paris.

He say ancient world, Rome easy, they got an empire named "Roman", but remember Rome lost importance at the end(Ravenne and Byzance).

Rome is the obvious and objectively right answer.

Maybe Athens could be on second place because of its legacy.

My ranking based on the knowledge I obtained from videogames

Rome
Mediolanum
Alexandria
Carthago
Massilia

Quebec

Rome, Constantinople, Teotihuacan, Chang'an

Ur

Nineveh
Vatican city museum claims it had a peak population of 800,000
This was way before Rome was relevant

Alexandria

>Vatican city museum
Is it any legit?

Rome total war

I'd say Rome, Chang'an, Baghdad, Timbuktu, Angkor, Tenochitlan, Venice, and New York City

Rome, Constantinople, Paris, Babylon, Alexandria

It was probably somewhere in that order of magnitude.

Mesopotamia had huge cities long before anyone else did.

New York city truly was the best city based on

>Paris
>London
>Industrial revolution

I suggest you reread the title of the thread. Specifically "of the Ancient World"

Ctesiphon

Damascus

Uruk: First recorded state
Babylon: First city known as a wonder in it's own right
Persepolis: muh columns
Alexandria: muh library and lighthouse
Rome: muh colosseum
Constantinople: muh tourkokratia

if roam's colloseum is so special why is it a generic building in civ V instead of a wonder.

~150,000

they were the largest pre-industrial cites, they both had the grand canal running through them, they had reforestation programs, segmentation like a modern city with leisure, commercial, and residential districts, they had rudimentary plumbing, classical painting is based on their landscape

Right here
