Hamilton has chosen "Publius" as the pseudonym…
October 1787 CE
Publius Valerius was not a late defender of the republic but one of its founders.
His more famous name, Publicola, meant 'friend of the people.'
It was not the first time Hamilton had used this pseudonym: in 1778, he had applied it to three letters attacking fellow Federalist Samuel Chase.
Chase's patriotism was questioned when Hamilton revealed that Chase had taken advantage of knowledge gained in Congress to try to dominate the flour market.
