What is a Roman actus?

It is an ancient Roman unit of length equal to 120 Roman feet or about 35.5 metres, commonly used in land surveying.

What is a picometer used for?

A picometer is an SI unit equal to 10⁻¹² metre, used for measuring very small distances like atomic and molecular bond lengths.

Why convert Roman actus to picometers?

To compare historical large-scale land measurements with modern atomic-scale units for scientific or educational analysis.
