What is a Roman actus?

A Roman actus is an ancient Roman unit of length equal to 120 Roman feet, approximately 35.5 metres, traditionally used in land measurement and surveying.

What does one megaparsec represent?

One megaparsec equals one million parsecs and is approximately 3.085677581×10^22 metres, used mainly for measuring intergalactic distances.

Why convert Roman actus to megaparsecs?

Converting Roman actus to megaparsecs helps relate ancient terrestrial length units to large-scale cosmic distances, useful in historical and astrophysical research.
