Due to how corruption is programmed in Civ 3, I think it would have been better to place your third city to the west near the silks, rather than further to the east. What I try to do is build a core ring of cities around the capital 4-5 tiles away, before expanding any further. Only exception might be to place a city to grab a luxury/resource.
