Claim 3: “the Roman Empire and China’s Han Dynasty ruled over more than 120 [million]”
MISLEADING
The claim states the empires 'each' ruled over 120 million, but the evidence from web searches explicitly states they ruled over 120 million people 'combined' or 'mixed'. One source further specifies Han China had 57.7 million people, which contradicts the claim that it individually ruled over 120 million.
