paces

n. step, stride; tempo; rate; speed of progress

v. take regular steps; regulate the speed of; walk back and forth (especially while absorbed in anxious thought); measure an area by counting the number of even strides that must be taken to cross it

A pace (or double-pace) is a measure of distance used in Ancient Rome. It is the measure of a full stride from the position of the heel when it is raised from the ground to the point the same heel is set down again at the end of the step. In Rome this was standardized as five Roman feet (about 1.48 metres or 58.1 English inches).
