I have serious doubts about this sentence: "city flourished to the extent that its population eventually numbered half a million". This is a ridiculous number. In it's hayday Rome (II century AD) had a quarter of million. Antiochia had 40 thousands or Ephesus 25 thousands.

Odd though it seems, this is the figure generally given in sources, though it has at times been questioned. I have amended the wording to reflect that there is some dispute about the amount. SilkTork✔Tea time 16:18, 17 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
