Colchester might have been a little larger, St Albans much smaller. There were probably fewer than fifty thousand Roman civilians in the entire province of Britain, and many of them would have been far from the rebel districts.
Crummy guesstimates a modest 15,000 for Camulodunum and rural area surrounding it... I've lived a good part of my life in Colchester and have a good idea of just how extensive it was, although I no longer live there I still consider it my hometown where roman remains were on daily view... not far away as the crow flys is the subject of my signature...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
