There were about 2,000 independent city states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, with populations varying from a few thousand to 200,000.

A guess would be overall in the vicinity of 8 to 10 million in the 4th Century BCE, well up from only about 700,000 in the 8th Century BCE. But of course it varied over the centuries up and down due to famines, good seasons, war, plagues natural increases over time. However the jump in the figures above showed what prolific breeders they were in an era before the distraction of TV.
