Ancient Greece 375-300BC Athena Pegasus Corinth Silver Stater Extra Fine (EF-40)
Ancient Corinth, strategically located on the narrow isthmus between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, was one of the wealthiest and most powerful city-states of antiquity. Its position gave it control over key land and sea trade routes, and its two harbors, Lechaion and Cenchreae, made it a thriving commercial hub. Corinth was also renowned for its cultural and artistic contributions, particularly the development of the ornate Corinthian column style in architecture. The city played an important role in Greek politics, often rivaling Athens and Sparta, and was later refounded as a major Roman colony in 44 BCE. Its prosperity, strategic influence, and architectural innovations secured Corinth a lasting place in ancient history.
