So it never reached or surpassed the claimed sizes of Alexandria, Rome or Baghdad. Also, most other cities claimed to surpass 1 million, the sources claim they reached ca. 1 million and not more.

- 22:4722:47, 29 November 2022 diff hist +309 Achaemenid Empire Its not quite right to claim that Parthians were "Iranian elites" who "reclaimed" control, as they were from a different region than the Achaemenid Persians. Also, most regions of the Achaemenid empire were never under Parthian rule such as Egypt, Cyrenaica, Syria, Palestine, Cappadocia, Armenia, Pontus, Indus valley,etc, most of these regions eventually became Roman provinces.
