Rome, possibly. Click here for a source.

London is the usual answer to this question in quizzes etc.

I've heard Baghdad (B.C.), as well, long before Rome.

[Rockiesrule]

Actually, I looked it up and Baghdad was the world's largest city from 775-935 A.D., so it probably was Rome. (133 B.C.) Babylon was the first to reach 200,000 in 65 or 66 B.C.

[Rockiesrule]

Of, course, if Rome reached that distinction in 133 B.C., that makes the Babylon "fact" false, but I'd go with Rome. I'll stop posting now.:)
