The Roman foot was a measure of the length of a foot. Investigation of its actual length of the Roman foot suggests that it was 0.907 English feet and 29.47 centimetres. Presumably, originally it was easier to measure distanced by using the feet, put one in front of the end of the other foot and continue that way. What measuring tools the Romans used once they settled for their measurement unit is uncertain.
You can divide the number of inches by 12, (the number of inches in a foot) to come up with a board length measurement.

As the name implies, scholars think that the foot was actually based on the length of the human foot. The Romans had a unit of measure called a pes that was made up of twelve smaller units called unciae. The Roman pes was a smidge shorter than our foot—it came in at around 11.6 inches—and similar Old English units based on the length of people's feet were also a bit shorter than our 12-inch foot. The 12-inch foot didn't become a common unit of measurement until the reign of Henry I of England during the early 12th century, which has led some scholars to believe it was standardized to correspond to the 12-inch foot of the king.
Her backing of Marc Antony's rulership in the eastern part of the Roman empire pleased the eastern Romans but displeased the western Romans and Octavian Caesar.
The Romans came to the region of England known as Lincolnshire in 48 AD. The Romans conquered this region at this time. The Romans had a settlement there up until 407 AD.
