| Additional information |
Corinthian staters of this period functioned as one of the ancient Mediterranean's most widely accepted trade currencies, circulating far beyond the Corinthian sphere into Sicily, Epirus, and the Adriatic colonies. Their ubiquity was such that Corinth's colonial offshoots — Leucas, Anactorium, Ambracia among them — struck parallel issues so closely related that attribution to the mother city versus a colony remains a persistent cataloging problem, reflected in the "var." qualification attached to the BCD reference here.
The 400–375 BC bracket falls squarely within Corinth's commercial peak before Macedonian dominance reshaped Aegean trade routes.
