32 million people
It has been estimated at 50-60 million, even though it is a very uncertain figure. Given the much lower population level in the world at the time, this was a a large population
60 million people (or as much as 1/5 of the world's population) claimed citizenship of Rome and as many as 120 million people may have lived within its borders. ________________ Estimates of around 100m need to be taken with a pinch of salt. Modern estimates tend to range between 50 and 80 million for the total population.
20 million
At its peak in the 1500s, the Inca Empire numbered over twelve million people.
At its peak, over 50 million.
Roughly 45 million of a world population of 250 million.

Great Britain, by far. At its height, the British empire covered almost 37 million km2 and held sway over nearly 460 million people in the early 20th century. The Spanish Empire at its height in the 18th century was around 20 million km2, and the French colonial empire reached an area of 12.5 million km2. As you can see, the British empire was the largest colonial empire in history, and in fact, the largest empire of any kind in the history of the world. The only other empire that came close to being as large as the British Empire was actually the Mongol empire, which reached an area of 33.2 million km2 by the mid 13th century.
There are many estimates of the population for the Roman Empire, that range from 45 million to 120 million with 55-65 million as the classically accepted figure.
