    What would the Romans even use, seeing as inches (what the .50 would be measured by) were the units of those backwater druids?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncia_(unit)

      The Roman inch was equal to 1⁄12 of a Roman foot (pes), which was standardized under Agrippa to about 0.97 inches or 24.6 millimeters.

      Good enough for government work?
