What is the mile unit used for?

The mile is an English unit of length used for road distances, highway signage, athletics, and land surveying in countries that follow imperial or US customary units.

Why convert miles to Greek cubits?

Converting miles to Greek cubits helps translate modern distances into ancient measurements relevant to archaeology, restoration, and historical research.

Is the Greek cubit a fixed length?

No, the Greek cubit varied in length by location and period, generally between 0.45 and 0.47 metres, so conversions are approximate.
