Not a historian but i feel like this map exaggerates the strength of the roman empire and underestimates the strength of the Mongolian/Chinese/Indian empires. Id love to know more though if you guys have more info
I think that's a fair criticism. It seems very Euro-centric to me.
I didn't see anything about some of the large and wealthy African empires like Mali or Benin.
