We have to extrapolate known figures - with an army-navy of about 35,000 at its peak, we can guess at families of 5 = 175,000 + 70,000 slaves + metics - about 250,000 all up at its peak. However plague, war and mass desertion of slaves soon reduced this dramatically in the last 30 years of the 5th Century BCE.
