based on paces
The Roman Empire was huge and powerful.
Basically, Romans measured dry capacity by the modus and wet capacity by the amphora. Area was measured by the iugerum and distance was measured by the mile or mille passum which literally meant one thousand paces.
Historians use 476 as the conventional date for the fall of the Roman Empire. In that year the emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, Romulus Augustus, was deposed.
The length of a Roman foot, which was called a "pes", was based on the "unciae" which was the Roman inch. Twelve unciae equalled one Roman foot, just as in our measurements twelve inches equals one foot.

Roman contributions include the use of 12 as a base number (the foot is divided into 12 inches) and the words from which we derive many of our present measurement unit names. For example, the 12 divisions of the Roman "pes," or foot were called unciae. Our words "inch" and "ounce" are both derived from that Latin word.
To measure a foot length you could use a ruler, a yard stick, a tape measure, or any object that you knew was precisely one foot long on a side or edge.
The Byzantine Empire.
No, the Romans used Roman law and governed according to Roman custom. That's why it's called an empire.
The eastern part of the Roman Empire became what remained the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire in the 5th century. Historians use the term Byzantine empire to indicate the eastern part after the fall of the western part. However, the people in question did not know this term, called their empire Roman Empire and considered it to be the Roman Empire.
No one divided the Roman Empire. There was only one Roman Empire. Western and Eastern Roman Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans did not use them. The eastern and western parts of the Roman empire lost cohesion when the later was invaded by the Germanic peoples.
