About These Units

About Pertica

The <b>pertica</b> was an ancient Roman unit of length equal to 10 Roman feet (pedes), measuring approximately 2.96 meters. Originally meaning "measuring rod," it was a fundamental surveying tool used by Roman land surveyors (agrimensores) for measuring fields and plotting land divisions. The term is the root of the English word "perch."

About Story

The story is an informal unit of distance equal to the average distance between floors of a building. In British English the spelling is "storey" and the plural is "storeys"; Americans write "story" and "stories." Typically a story equals 10 to 12 feet (3.0-3.6 meters). The origin of this use of the word "story" is not entirely clear, but in medieval times a tier of sculptures or stained glass windows on the front of a cathedral was called a stor(e)y because it usually told a story, and the number of stories was a measure of the size of the building.
