| Additional information |
Corinthian staters were among the most widely circulated coins of the Greek world, accepted across the Adriatic, Sicily, and the Levant largely because Corinth's commercial reach demanded a trusted, consistent silver currency. Their ubiquity earned them the nickname "colts" in antiquity — a reference their issuers almost certainly appreciated. This span of issue coincides with the height of Corinthian involvement in western Greek affairs, including the dispatch of Timoleon to Syracuse in 344 BC to expel Dionysius II.
