What is a Roman mile?

A Roman mile is an ancient unit of length equal to 1,000 double steps or about 1,480 meters, used in Roman times for measuring distances.

A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch, used to express finer dimensions than whole inches.

Why convert Roman miles to centiinches?

Converting Roman miles to centiinches helps express ancient distances in very fine modern units, aiding archaeological, historical, and engineering tasks.
