What is a Roman actus?

The Roman actus is an ancient Roman length unit, about 35.5 metres, originally used for land surveying and defining boundaries.

How precise is the centiinch as a unit?

The centiinch represents one hundredth of an inch and is used informally to express finer measurements than whole inches in machining and printing.

Can this conversion be used for legal land measurements?

Due to approximation and nonstandard units involved, this conversion is best suited for reference and interpretive purposes rather than official legal measurements.
