Old system of measurement

The old system of measurement includes/understands various systems of various countries, but generally connected to each other with simple ratios.

Between much of others,
in particular belongs to this old system of measurement:

the Roman Measuring units
the Anglo-Saxon Measuring units
the Measuring units of the Old Mode

all based on the principles of the highly made up numbers .

The simple prime numbers returning as factor in the ratios are in general limited two, three, five and Sept.

It is, of the catalog of Sloane. In English, one calls them them “”.

576 (= 2⁶ X 3 ² X 5⁰ X 7⁰) Roman feet égalent 560 (= 2⁴ X 3⁰ X 5¹ X 7¹) English feet, are equivalent à 525 (= 2⁰ X 3¹ X 5 ² X 7¹) feet of King de France.

Indeed, after the year 1066, the English foot was defined 15 sixteenth French foot .
It is also established que : 192 (= 3 X 64) Roman feet equalize 175 (= 7 X25) feet of the King.

The systems of the old Egypt, of the Mésopotamie, the old Greece and the Austria - between much of others - form part of it also.
