Unit Definition (palm [Britain, Roman minor])
A palm, when used as a unit of length, is usually four digits or three inches, i.e. 7.62 cm (for the international inch). The width of an adult human male palm is indeed about 10 centimetres.In English this unit has mostly fallen out of use, as do others based on the human arm: digit (¼ palm), finger (7/24 palm), hand (4/3 palms), shaftment (2 palms), span (3 palms), cubit (6 palms) and ell (15 palms).

Unit Definition (pace [great])
A pace (or double-pace) is a measure of distance used by Ancient Rome. It is the measure of a full stride from the position of the heel when it is raised from the ground to the point he heel is set down again at the end of the step. In Rome this was standardized as about five Roman feet or 58.1 English inches.
