    because of catastrophes (think, for example, of Pompeii) or of conquest. This has contributed to the longevity of these imperial networks, which did not perish even in the face of the loss of their capital (Rome in 410 CE or Kaifeng in China in 1126 CE). With his comparison, Preiser-Kapeller was also able to prove that the structures of these equally large world empires (approximately 5 million km²) correspond to those of complex networks of the present, such as the ...
