| Additional information |
Corinthian staters circulated so widely across the Greek world that they earned the nickname "colts" — a reference to Pegasus — and functioned as the dominant trade currency throughout much of the western Mediterranean during the fourth century. Corinth's colonial network, stretching from Corcyra to Syracuse, meant these coins traveled far beyond their mint city. Several hoards found in Illyria and Epirus contain Corinthian staters almost to the exclusion of everything else.
Ravel's classification system for this series, published in 1936, remains the standard reference despite covering hundreds of die combinations.
