From socioepistemology, the paper presents an "epistemology of practices" that allowed the study of the measurement of the rectangular bases of ancient temples. Its objective is to analyze the metrological structure of three of them, built between 1000 BC and the beginning of the Christian era, located in different geopolitical spaces. The results highlight four arithmetic characteristics with which the buildings were designed and built, in which the concept of ratio between magnitudes of length, area and volume of each temple is involved. The four characteristics are part of the normative function that regulates construction activities.
