it was probably about 35.but mostly the average is low because a lot of babies died soon after they were born After the age of 40, more people began dying of diseases like malaria and dysentery. Because they ate less meat and more vegetables, they didn't die so much of things like cancer, heart attacks, and strokes as they do today. Without medicines, though, most people died in their forties and fifties. Because of this, most people did not ever know their grandparents, who died about the time they were born, and many kids lost one or both parents before they grew up. well its mainly for the roman empire but i dont think theres a big difference
