Today, I've decided to name my restaurant "Cicero". It is based from European typographic unit of measurement that was invented by Francois Ambroise Didot. It was first used by printers Arnold Pannartz and Konrad Sweynheim in 1468, when they issued Marcus Tullius Cicero's Epistulae Ad Familiares. Consequently, the unit acquired the name "Cicero".
1 Cicero = 1.063 picas
= 12 Didot points
= 1/6 of French inch
= 0.178 inches
= 4.511 mm
