The population of roman Britain is estimated at 2-3 million at its peak. Well above the early medieval population.

Historical population estimates necessarily have a very large admixture of conjecture.

Direction of changes, short term, are more reliable where there is information, but with long periods without information, so only rare baselines.

Thanks. Have to say I'm surprised, think I have a new period of history to read up on for 2020!
