Additional information

Ambrakia was a Corinthian colony on the Ambracian Gulf, and its staters follow the Corinthian weight standard closely enough that they long circulated interchangeably across the western Greek world. The city came to particular prominence under Pyrrhus of Epirus in the early third century, but these earlier issues predate that chapter entirely — struck during a period when Ambrakia was asserting its own colonial identity while still operating within Corinthian monetary conventions.

The Ravel typology for this series remains the foundational reference, though die links between Ambrakian and other Corinthian-tradition staters continue to surface in hoard material from the Adriatic coast.
