Cities with ports/harbours?
Neither Rome nor Beijing nor Babylon nor Thebes qualify on that.
Imperial capital cities
New York has never been a capital (at least not of a political empire.)
I was stretching it with the “Empire State”.
Yeah, I thought that might have been what you were going for.

All were at one time or another the most populated cities on Earth?
Yes they were.
Woot!
It was only a matter of time. SOMEONE was going to crack it.
