Very nice, I see the most promising idea for a blog series on this wikia yet.

One quick question: What did you mean by "the Roman Empire at its height had about 5 million people"? I can't tell when you're saying the height of their power was or what you're including as the Roman Empire. From what I've learned, the Roman Empire had a population of well over 50 million during the 100's AD and Rome itself alone housed over a million people. Even Italy alone during that same time had anywhere from 6 million to 14 million inhabitants. Anyway, I just thought this confusion was worth clearing up; it certainly is no detriment to this fine blog post.
