What is a Roman actus?

The Roman actus is an ancient Roman unit of length equal to 120 Roman feet, about 35.5 meters, used primarily in land measurement and surveying.

What does the classical electron radius represent?

The classical electron radius is a derived length scale representing where the electrostatic self-energy equals the electron rest energy; it's important in atomic and particle physics but not a literal electron size.

Why convert between Roman actus and electron radius?

This conversion helps contextualize ancient large-scale length measurements at a fundamental quantum scale for interdisciplinary research involving history and physics.
