Ambrakia, the Corinthian colony on the Ambrakian Gulf, struck Pegasos staters throughout the fourth century under what was effectively a client relationship with Corinth — sharing the broader "Corinthian" coinage network that circulated across the western Greek world and into Magna Graecia. The colony gained particular notoriety when Pyrrhus made it his Epirote capital after 294 BC, but these staters predate that transformation, issued during the city's years of contested autonomy before Macedonian expansion under Philip II curtailed the independence of northwestern Greek poleis.
Pegasi #41 places this piece within a documented die study by Calciati, the primary reference for the series.
