Unit Definition (as, ass [Northern Europe])
The as, ass [Northern Europe] is a traditional unit of mass for gold and silver, used in most of northern Europe but not in England. The unit varied in size from about 48 to 58 milligrams (0.75 to 0.90 English grain).

Unit Definition (livre [France])
The livre is a traditional unit of weight in French speaking countries and in Greece. The livre corresponds to the English pound and to the Spanish libra. The livre is divided into 2 marcs or into 16 onces. The French livre varied from market to market, but the official standard from about 1350 to the introduction of the metric system was the livre poids de marc or livre de Paris of 489.5 grams (1.079 English pounds). In modern France, the livre is used as an informal metric unit equal to exactly 500 grams or 0.5 kilogram (1.1023 pounds). The traditional Greek livre is also about 500 grams.
