In [[Ancient Rome]] the imperial city was the largest urban center of its time, with a population of about one million people (about the size of London in the early 19th century, when London was the largest city in the world), with some high-end estimates of 14 million and low-end estimates of 450,000.<ref>Duiker, 2001. page 149.</ref><ref>[http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-20586744.html ''Abstrat of'' The population of ancient Rome.] by Glenn R.

Most of these centers had a [[Forum (Roman)|forum]] and temples and same type of buildings, on a smaller scale, as found in Rome.
