Jugerum
The jugerum or juger (Latin: iūgerum, iūgera, iūger, or iugus) was a Roman unit of area, equivalent to a rectangle 240 Roman feet in length and 120 feet in width (about 71×35½ m), i.e. 28,800 square Roman feet (Latin: pedes quadratum) or about 1⁄4 hectare (0.623 acre).

Jugerum
Jugerum, jugera or jugus was a Roman unit of measurement of area, 240 pedes or 71.0 m in length and 120 pedes or 35.5 m in breadth, containing therefore 28,800 pedes quadratum. That is 0.623 acre or 0.25 ha. It was the double of the Actus Quadratus, and from this circumstance, according to some writers, it derived its name. [Actus.] It seems probable that, as the word was evidently originally the same as jugum, a yoke, and as actus, in its original use, meant a path wide enough to drive a single beast along, that jugerum originally meant a path wide enough for a yoke of oxen, namely, the double of the actus in width; and that when actus quadratus was used for a square measure of surface, the jugerum, by a natural analogy, became the double of the actus quadratus; and that this new meaning of it superseded its old use as the double of the single actus. Pliny states "That portion of land used to be known as a "jugerum," which was capable of being ploughed by a single "jugum," or yoke of oxen, in one day; an "actus" being as much as the oxen could plough at a single spell, fairly estimated, without stopping. This last was one hundred and twenty feet in length; and two in length made a jugerum.".
