"Vertical" in this case means they share the same Vertex (corner point), not the usual meaning of up-down.

What shape was the tool the Romans used for surveying?
The Groma was a vertical staff with a bracket at the top which attached two vertical cross bards placed at right angles. There were plumb lines at the ends of the two cross- bars. It allowed to survey right angles and vertical lines and, through this, calculate rectangles and squares.
What is a pattern of horizontal and vertical lines that cross each other at right angles?
perpendicular lines
