The whole concept of "city" (vs. town or village) is a vague one.
That's very true, particularly in the period I'm looking at.
To be clear, I'm not trying to be very exact here. This was just an interesting idea to see what cities might benefit from the "Medieval Tube Map" treatment.
And as other people have pointed out, there's no reason one has to go that far back just because the folks who did that map did. But it is more fun to do that map with a system that has many stations. Xi'an is really old and has a subway now, but it only has two lines.
