Beschrijving keerzijde A palm tree occupies the central field of the reverse, its fronds spreading outward from a slender trunk with characteristic drooping branches, rendered in low relief in the provincial style. The palm is a symbol frequently associated with colonial and provincial coinage of the Roman world. A Latin colonial legend surrounds the device in the field, referencing the authority and identity of the issuing colony. The coin's surface shows heavy patination and wear consistent with its age and circulation history.

Aanvullende informatie

Buthrotum — modern Butrint in Albania — was a Roman colony founded under Julius Caesar and expanded under Augustus, giving it the right to strike colonial bronze coinage. This piece dates to Nero's reign, issued by a backwater Adriatic colony more notable for its Virgilian associations (Aeneid III places Helenus and Andromache there) than for any monetary significance. Colonial issues from Buthrotum are scarce survivors; the colony's small population and limited economic reach meant production runs were modest and attrition over two millennia has been severe.
