    Romans gave us Miles too, but it's a human, not equine measure.

    Mile is from "milli" - a thousand. A thousand paces (one left + one right step) is 1600 metres, 1 mile.

    A Roman legionnaire could compel any bystander to carry his equipment for him for one mile, hence the expression of "going a second mile" for someone.
