| Additional information |
Ambracia was a Corinthian colony on the Ambracian Gulf, and its staters follow the Corinthian weight standard and pegasus/Athena typology established by the mother city — but with the distinguishing koppa replaced by the city's own ethnic. The colonial coinage tradition here ran deep: Ambracia struck pegasi continuously from the late Archaic period through the Pyrrhic Wars, making chronological attribution within the series genuinely difficult without die-linkage study. Ravel's ordering of the "Colts" remains the foundational sequence, though subsequent scholarship has refined placement of several early groups.
