Talk:Stadia (length)

Plural name
Shouldn't this article be called Stadium (length), in the singular? —Michael Z. 2008-10-12 15:53 z 


 * Probably not stadium since that is likely the latinisation. However, I concur that stadia is likely plural. The article could use some further cleanup since it has all the hallmarks of inaccuracy. Expert? 80.57.70.243 (talk) 13:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Erathostenes' stade
If the actual distance between Alexandria and Syene is divided by the number of stades used by Erathostenes on can narrow the dispute. Taking the distance to be 950km expressed as 5000 (or 5040) one gets a value close to the so called italian (attic) stade.91.92.179.156 (talk) 17:59, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
