Stater

Corinthian staters of this period were the dominant trade currency across the western Greek world, circulating from Epirus to Sicily and into the Adriatic colonies. Their acceptance was so widespread that dozens of cities — Leucas, Anactorium, Ambracia among them — struck their own staters copying the Corinthian type almost exactly, distinguished only by a single control letter or symbol. Numismatists call this entire family the "Pegasi" precisely because of Corinth's commercial reach in the fifth century.

Ravel's 1936 die study remains the foundational reference for sequencing these early issues.
