Anaktorion was a Corinthian colony at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, and its coinage follows the Corinthian weight standard — a deliberate alignment with the mother city that reflected both economic integration and political dependence well into the fourth century. The city was contested repeatedly by Ambracia and Acarnanian League factions, and its coin output was never large. The BCD collection, assembled by a single dedicated specialist over decades, remains the primary reference point for distinguishing the finer die varieties within this series.
