| Additional information |
Dyrrachion — the Greek colony on the Illyrian coast known later to Romans as Dyrrachium — controlled one of the Adriatic's most strategically critical harbors, and its silver coinage circulated well beyond its immediate hinterland as a result. The city's staters functioned as a regional trading currency at a time when Illyrian tribal pressure from the interior was a constant political variable. Pegasi references for this type reflect the work of Oliver Hoover and colleagues in systematically die-linking the series, which remains one of the more rigorously catalogued among Adriatic Greek issues.
