Metae, As Used In The Roman Stadium

Interesting thing about the three metae at each end of the spina:

I originally only set one at each end, but later two other agrimensors (or should I say codex-stakers), who disagreed with my measurements, set their own metae 0.04 stadia from mine.

This was the first meta-cushion.
