The pes is the Roman foot, equal to 29.67 centimeters (about 11.68 inches). The pes was divided into 12 unciae (inches). There were 5 pes (or pedes) in 1 passus (pace, see above), 10 in a decempeda, 625 in a stadium, and 5000 in the Roman mile.

Vara is an old Spanish and Portuguese unit of length. Varas are a surveying unit that appears in many deeds in the southern United States, and varas were also used in many parts of Latin America. It varied in size at various times and places; the Spanish unit was set at about 835.9 mm in 1801.
