The average male of ancient Rome would be considered short by our standards. They were only about five feet eight. Now this is average, there were some taller and some shorter. The emperor Augustus was a very short person and would have several extra soles attached to his shoes to make himself appear taller.

Depending on the period of time and the context, the ancient Greeks were at one stage the size of a small pea. And there names were similar to that of raquel, the capabilities of advancements in technology allowed for machines such as "stretchers", These so called stretchers allowed the Greeks to be pulled to a great extent approximately 300 cm tall. Unfortunately it also stretch the size of the cells within there body, the cells having a greater volume than surface area had to undergo mitosis to allow for maximum absorption of nutrients and for survival. So the Greeks who were stretched, split in two becoming approximately 150 cm tall each.
