FIG. 22.—Comparing the expectation of life of Ancient Romans with that of present day Americans. Plotted from Macdonell's and Glover's data. three tables of expectation of life—the first for Roman citizens living in the city of Rome itself; second for those living in the provinces of Hispania and Lusitania; and third, for those living in Africa. The results are plotted against the United States 1910 data, as before, in Figures 22, 23, and 24. Figure 22 relates to inhabitants of the city of Rome itself. The deaths from which the expectations are calculated run into the thousands, and fortunately one is able to separate males and females. As in Pearson's case, which we have just examined, modern American.
