Birytis, Kebren and Skepsis belonged to the dense network of communities that shaped fourth-century BC Troas. Their compact civic bronzes served local exchange while distinctive images—Kabeiros, Apollo, Pegasos and the palm—asserted religious and political identity. Together they evoke a region of small cities balancing civic autonomy with the ambitions of larger powers controlling routes between coast and interior.
