Additional information

Buthrotum — modern Butrint in Albania — was established as a Roman colony by Julius Caesar's decree, though the actual settlement was carried out under Augustus after 44 BC. The duoviri named on this issue, Q. Naevius Sura and A. Hirtulius Niger, were the senior magistrates of the colonial administration, responsible not only for local governance but for authorizing coin production in the name of the emperor. Provincial bronzes of this colony are genuinely scarce; Buthrotum was never a major economic center, and its output was modest.
