      For more on this, see Andrew Wilson's fascinating & important article on 'Saharan trade in the Roman period': http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0067270X.2012.727614 …

          Number seems ridiculously high, considering pop'n to draw on, infrastructure, & early modern numbers in comparison.

          Numbers those usually arrived at for medieval and early modern eras; Wilson suggests equal or greater quantity in Roman era in paper cited.
