Fun fact: back in 1600s the Swedish government wanted to make our old history grander than perhaps it had been.

Surprised that didn’t inspire people to purchase gold/artifacts and bury them on their property…

Huh? Not the OP, but I have heard that Rome is defined by the seven hills, so I thought the Aurelian Wall definition was excluding a hill or something. The Wikipedia article says the walls cover all seven hills and the Campus Martius: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelian_Walls Are you saying you'd include even more in "the size of Rome (the city)"? If so, what?
You'd include the entire city. That's what people will take you to mean when you refer to a city.
And the OP did.
