Unit Definition (alen [Scandinavia])
The Alen is a traditional Scandinavian unit of distance, which is very similar to the North German Elle: which is roughly equal to 2 feet or 60 centimeters.

Unit Definition (pes)
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.
