Definition

• A Greek silver coin of the value of two Drachms (q.v.). It was copied from the silver Stater of the Persians, and is consequently frequently referred to by this name, though as a monetary unit it was soon replaced by the Drachm. The Didrachm was extensively struck in Corinth and its colonies (see Stater, Poloi) and also in the cities of Sicily and lower Italy.
