Poids léger. Est la plus petite division pour la période. Semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. Is the smallest division for the period. Seems rarer than general literature suggests

Historical background
TROAS - SKEPSIS
(5th - 4th century BC).
Scepsis located on the Scamandre about thirty kilometers from the city of Scamandre, was a city in the heart of the Troad. The city was abandoned in 310 BC to found Antigoneia. After the battle of Ipsos and the death of Antigone, Lysimachus gave it the name of Alexandreia. He authorized before the end of his reign, the inhabitants who wished to return to their city of origin.
