| Additional information |
Buthrotum, the ancient Butrint on the Adriatic coast of Epirus, held Roman colonial status from at least the Augustan period — Julius Caesar had planned the colony, though he was assassinated before it was formalized. By Nero's reign the local council was issuing its own bronze coinage, a privilege that reflected genuine administrative autonomy rather than mere ceremonial self-governance. The reverse legend EX CON D C C I B almost certainly abbreviates the colony's founding decree and council body, marking this as a civic issue with a specific institutional mandate behind it.
