What is a Roman actus?

The Roman actus is an ancient unit of length used in Roman land measurement, approximately equal to 35.5 metres or 120 Roman feet.

What does a micrometer measure?

A micrometer (µm) is an SI-derived unit of length equal to one millionth of a metre, used to measure microscopic dimensions in science and engineering.

Why convert Roman actus to micrometers?

Converting Roman actus to micrometers helps translate traditional land length values into precise modern SI units for detailed scientific and historical analysis.
