| Additional information |
Buthrotum — modern Butrint in Albania — held the status of a Roman colony, refounded under Caesar and again reinforced under Augustus, which gave it the right to strike its own bronze coinage in the emperor's name. Issues under Claudius are notably scarce; the colony's output was never high-volume, and the civic minting apparatus appears to have functioned intermittently at best. The abbreviations C C I B encode Colonia Claudia Iulia Buthrotum, the formal colonial title granted or reaffirmed under Claudius himself.
RPC I 1399 is among the rarer Buthrotum types in that census.
