INTRODUCTION

The second reprinting - in 2006 - of RPC I has been the occasion to publish also this second

Supplement to RPC . The first Supplement was published in 1998 and covered much new material

that had appeared for the Julio-Claudian period between the date of the first publication of RPC I

in 1992 and 1997. This new Supplement includes new material from 1998 to about 2005, and

covers the Flavian period ( RPC II) as well as the Julio-Claudian period. In due course there will be

a third Supplement!

The material has been arranged in two sequential parts, the first covering RPC I and the second

covering RPC II.

Index 1, Cities, is again brought up to date and is a consolidated Index for the cities represented

in RPC I-II, the first Supplement and the second Supplement.

The decision to publish the second Supplement on-line rather than as a book has been taken for

three reasons: first of all, it is easier; second it improves access for scholars, collectors, museum

curators and other users; and thirdly, an electronic version is easier to search. We do not claim

any copyright over the text or pictures used here, and we would be happy for any scholar or

collector to use them for his or her own personal or academic purpose.

We are very grateful to the University of Valencia for hosting the publication. The URL is

At the time of writing, we can give the following progress report on the series as a whole. RPC

VII.1 covering the coinage of Gordian I-Gordian III (AD 238-44) from the province of Asia has

just been published by M. Spoerri Butcher. Work is well advanced on RPC 3 (Nerva-Hadrian) by

Michel Amandry and Andrew Burnett, as is also the case for RPC IV (The Antonines) by C.

Howgego and V. Heuchert. The material for RPC IV can now be found on-line:

http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk. E. Levante has collected an enormous amount of material covering

RPC VII,2-IX, and we hope in due course that we will be able to work with him in publishing it.

William Metcalf continues to collect material for RPC X (Aemilian-Diocletian).

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Reviews of RPC II have been published by K. Butcher SNR 79 (2000), pp. 199-204; W. E.

Metcalf, JRA 13 (2000), pp. 584-88; B.M. Levick, NC 162 (2002), pp. 442-5; B. Rémy, RN 159

(2003), pp. 482-3.

The Leypold collection has now been published by W. Szaivert and C. Daburon, SNG Österreich.

Sammlung Leypold, Wiener Neustadt . Band I : Pontus-Lydia (Vienna, 2000) and Band II : Phrygien-

Kommagene (Vienna, 2004) (= SNG Leypold). Only the more unusual specimens are included in

the Supplement.

Part of the Hunterian collection of provincial coins has also now been published by J. Goddard,

SNG XII. The Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow . Part I : Roman Provincial Coins, Spain-Kingdoms

of Asia Minor (London, 2004). A very interesting touch is the inclusion in the list of the mints of all

the mints within their respective province or conventus, rather than just those in the Hunterian.

The metal analyses referred to in RPC have now been published in M.R. Cowell, P. T.

Craddock, A. W. G. Pike, A. M. Burnett, ‘An analytical survey of Roman provincial copper-alloy

coins and the continuity of brass manufacture in Asia Minor’, in eds. B. Kluge and B. Weisser,

XII. Internationaler Numismatischer Kongress Berlin 1997. Akten - Proceedings - Actes (Staatliche Museen zu

Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin, 2000), pp. 670-77.

On “Alliance coinages” ( RPC I, p. 48; RPC II, pp. 6-7), see also P. Weiss, ‘Festgesandtschaften,

Städtisches Prestige und Homonoiaprägungen’, Stadion (International Journal of the History of

Sport) XXIV.1 (Colloquium ‘Agonistik in der römischen Kaiserzeit’ Landhaus Rothenberge bei

Münster 25.-27. Oktober 1995) (1998) [1999], pp. 59-70; see also P. Weiss’ review of U.

Kampmann, Die Homonoia-Verbindungen der Stadt Pergamon in Klio 81 (1999), pp. 554-55.

On the question of authority, see now P. Weiss, ‘Euergesie oder römische Prägegenehmigung?

Αιτησαµέ vo υ -Formular auf Städtemünzen der Provinz Asia, Roman Provincial Coinage (RPC)

II und persönliche Aufwendungen im Münzwesen’, Chiron 30 (2000), pp. 236-54; the same author

has returned to a similar subject in ‘The Cities and their Money’ in the Oxford conference cited

below, pp. 57-68.

Many individual matters and general considerations are raised by the authors of the papers,

originally given at a conference at Oxford, in Coinage and Identity in the Roman Provinces , eds. C.

Howgego, V. Heuchert, A. Burnett (Oxford, 2005). Mention should also be made of two other

conferences, which focus on the geographical areas of Syria and Egypt, but which give a good

sense of continuity and change from before and after the early imperial period. The first was

organised in Damascus 1999 and has led to the publication of Les Monnayages Syriens. Quel apport

pour l’histoire du Proche-Orient hellénistique et romain? , eds. C. Augé, F. Duyrat (Beirut, Institut Français

d’Archéologie du Proche Orient, Bibliothèque Archéologique et Historique, Tome 162, 2002).

The second was organised in Alexandria in 2002 has now been published as L’exception égyptienne?

Production et échanges monétaires en Égypte hellénistique et romaine , Actes du Colloque à Alexandria 13-15 Avril

2002 , eds. F.Duyrat, O. Picard, (Alexandria, Études alexandrines Tome 10, 2005) . Finally, a

general account of ‘Latin on coins of the western empire’ was published by A. Burnett in the

conference proceedings Becoming Roman, Writing Latin? ed. A.E. Cooley ( Journal of Roman

Archaeology Supplementary Series Volume 48, 2002), pp. 33-40.

Although it is not appropriate to refer here to more specific studies, mention should be made of

the long-awaited publication of K. Butcher, Coinage in Roman Syria: northern Syria, 64 BC - AD 253

(London, 2004) [abbreviation: Butcher, CRS ]. Although the book focuses on Syria and Antioch, it

throws light on many broader aspects of provincial coinage, and the relationship of provincial

mints to Rome.

The forthcoming new edition of RIC II (Part 1: the Flavians) , being prepared by I. Carradice and

T. Buttrey, will provide updated catalogue information and discussion on the following series

included in RPC : Latin coins from Thrace (501-543); Asia, aurei and denarii (801-858) and

cistophori (859-875); Denarii with O (1451-1469); Orichalcum coins of 77/8 (1470-1488); Syrian

aurei and denarii (1901-1935); Antioch orichalcum (1982-2005).
