The Forum at Pompeii was proportioned in a 3:11 ratio, which represents the ratio of the Earth’s radius to the Moon’s. The same ratio appears in the trunk of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man (the width of the head, in height from the head to the feet), and, from the Middle Ages, in the entrance to Gerum Church.
