Additional information

Anaktorion was one of several Akarnanian cities that shared a federal coinage tradition, yet retained its own civic identity through distinct local types. The city sat at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf — a strategically critical position that made it perpetually contested between Corinthian colonial interests and the expanding Akarnanian League throughout the fourth century. Corinth had colonized the site, and that relationship left a visible mark on the coinage tradition of the region for generations.

Pegasi#47 places this stater within the later phase of Anaktorion's independent issues, before Akarnanian federal coinage absorbed most local production.
