Stater

Corinthian staters of this period were among the most widely circulated coins in the Greek world, accepted across the Adriatic, Sicily, and into the western Mediterranean at a time when Corinth's trading networks rivaled Athens. The so-called "Pegasus coins" — kolophon to Corinthian commerce — circulated so far and so freely that dozens of western Greek cities struck imitative issues, many nearly indistinguishable from the originals.
