Volume 1: Text | Volume 2: Plates

The Richard B. Witschonke Collection of more than 3,700 coins, now in the collection of the American Numismatic Society, provides the historical and numismatic prologue to the study of Roman provincial coinage. Most of the specimens are of great historical and numismatic value, as explained in the historical introductions preceding each of the 38 sections of this catalogue. This collection offers a unique overview of the diverse ways in which the monetary systems of the Mediterranean basin responded to the Roman conquest in the second and early first centuries BCE and to the related necessity of interconnectivity. The book has been unofficially dubbed "RPC Zero," as it covers the local coinages of the Roman world during the Republic, which falls outside the scope of the Roman Provincial Coinage catalogues, and it is thus an important and critical reference work in its own right.
