Definition of leuca
leuca
Leuca is a term used in French law and history. It refers to a unit of measurement for distance. There are three different definitions of leuca:
- A league that is made up of 1,500 paces.
- A league that is made up of 1,000 paces.
- A special area that is one mile in radius around a monastery.
Example 1: The distance between two towns was measured to be three leucas. This means that the distance between the two towns is either 3,000 or 4,500 paces, depending on which definition of leuca is being used.
Example 2: The monks at the monastery were allowed to use the leuca to claim a special area around their monastery. This meant that no one else could build within one mile of the monastery.
These examples illustrate how leuca was used as a unit of measurement for distance and as a way to define a special area around a monastery.
