I thought the non-forested stuff was farmland - it seems to be split up in roughly rectangular chunks, and those little bits of green separating the chunks could be windbreaks. It seems like a ton of land though, don't know how much farmland a Roman city like this would have (or if would be right outside it like that, I think the Romans did a lot of farming in villas some distance away from cities).
it def seems like there ought to be clusters of buildings with the fields, as people weren't gonna be commuting out of the city that far. be that villages or villas

me too. just seems like perhaps too much.
