What is a mile (Roman)?

The Roman mile is an ancient length unit equal to 1,000 double steps or 5,000 Roman feet, approximately 1,480 metres.

What does petameter measure?

A petameter is an SI unit equal to 10^15 metres, used for measuring extremely large distances such as those found in astronomy.

Why convert Roman miles to petameters?

Converting helps relate ancient distance measurements with modern scientific units applicable in fields like astronomy and archaeology.
