Footprint of cities
I’ll read articles about history and archaeology and sometimes the article will give a population of a town. My question is physically how would towns and cities compare in size to ours? Obviously the physical size will vary greatly but I’m just trying to get a picture in my mind. I came from a village of 900 people in Wisconsin. I’m guessing it’s about 2 square miles. Would a village in say 14 century England be roughly the same? Half that?
