Length Based on Human Body

The length of a foot, the width of a finger, and the distance of a step were all accepted measurements.Inch: At first an inch was the width of a man's thumb. Hand: A hand was approximately 5 inches or 5 digits (fingers) across. Today, a hand is 4 inches and is used to measure horses (from the ground to the horse's withers, or shoulder).Span: A span was the length of the hand stretched out.Foot: The length of the average man's foot.Yard: A yard was originally the length of a man's belt or girdle, as it was called. In the 12th century, King Henry I of England fixed the yard as the distance from his nose to the thumb of his out-stretched arm. Cubit: In ancient Egypt, a cubit was the distance from the elbow to the fingertips. Lick: A Lick was used by the Greeks to measure the distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the index finger.Pace: The ancient Roman soldiers marched in paces, which were the length of a double step, about 5 feet
