Historical

A "conservative" estimate by Charles A. Burney put the population of Tushpa (Van), the capital of Urartu, and its suburbs at 50,000.[44] [45] A. A. Martirosyan proposed 30,000 for Argishtikhinili (Armavir).[46] Konstantine Hovhannisyan estimated a population of 20,000 for Teishebaini (Karmir Blur, now within Yerevan).[47] Yervand Grekyan criticized these numbers as highly exaggerated and proposed 1,800 to 2,000 in Karmur Blur and 3,000 to 4,000 for Argishtikhinili.[48]

The population of Tigranocerta, the capital founded by Tigranes the Great, has been estimated at up to 100,000,[49] possibly 300,000,[50] or even 500,000.[51] These are partly or entirely based on Appian, who in Mithridatic War §67 attests that Tigranes carried 300,000 from Cappadocia to Tigranocerta. Many scholars cite the number without critical examination,[52] [53] [54] while Thomas Sinclair found it exaggerated.[55]

For the long-time capital of Artaxata, Zhores Khachatryan proposed 150,000 at its height in the 1st-2nd centuries AD.[56] Robert H. Hewsen proposed just "several thousand".[57]

Dvin had an estimated population of 45,000 in 361, 47,000 in 622, and around 100,000 at its height in the 8th-9th centuries.[58] Nyura Hakobyan proposed a peak population of 100,000 to 150,000.[59]

Scholars conventionally put the population of Ani, the Bagratid capital, at around 100,000.[60] [61] Lucy Der Manuelian noted that the figure, first reported by Matthew of Edessa, has been questioned by modern scholars, but Nikolai Marr, who excavated the site, noted that "most of the people probably lived just outside the walls." Hakob Manandyan noted that Ani's population was "unquestionably more than that of contemporary cities in Western Europe."[62]

For the 10th to 13th centuries, Babken Arakelyan estimated three large cities with up to 100,000 residents: Ani, Dvin, and Artsn. He proposed 40,000 to 50,000 for Ahlat (Khlat) and Yerznka (Erzincan), and 15,000 to 25,000 for Kars, Nprkert (Martyropolis), Archesh (Arzes), and Manazkert.[63]
