PREFACE

This is the next instalment of new material for RPC I-III, VII.1 and IX. As III (Nerva – Hadrian) and IX (Trajan Decius – Uranius Antoninus) have appeared since the last Supplement, the scope of this new Supplement 4 is correspondingly greater. New material was also added to RPC online (http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk) for RPC III and IX in June 2016 at the same time as RPC VII.1 was made available online. To avoid making this printed Supplement too big, multiple new specimens of known types have not always been included here.

This applies particularly to the ever-growing collections of CGT, ETB and A. Tricarico, but we owe their owners a special debt of gratitude from the way they are constantly checking, and often acquiring, newly appearing coins, especially on eBay, and regularly sending in information about them: every morning we all await the welcome arrival of several emails from each of them!

Only new material that has not already been published in the Consolidated Supplement 1992-2015 has been included here. Please note as well that a more precise numbering system has been introduced for RPC VII.1 when it was converted into digital format: some coin-types have now been subdivid-ed into subtypes, hence the ‘decimal’ numbers (e.g. 123.1 or 123.2, but see RPC III, p. xvii, where this system was first used for the coinage of Alexandria in Egypt).

Ted Buttrey has asked us to improve the way in which we refer to volumes of RPC and to the Supplements and the Consolidated Supplement, and we are very grateful to him for making the suggestion, which will clarify future bibliographic referencing. Under the new procedure Latin numerals will be used only for volumes of RPC (thus I-X), and Arabic numerals for the Supplements (thus 1-3, and now the current 4), which will also bear a date (e.g. Supplement 4, 2017). The Consolidated Supplement will not be numbered but have a date: the first one appeared in 2015, and it is intended to produce a successor in a year or so when the accumulation of new material justifies the effort. For the moment all new material can be found by consulting the Consolidated Supplement 2015 together with the present Supplement 4.

The production of this Supplement is, as ever, the work of Pere Pau Ripollès, and we are all very grateful to him for taking on this considerable task.

We are also grateful to the University of Oxford for hosting the Supplements and the previous Consolidated Supplement. Oxford seems now the natural place, since it is the location of RPC Online.

Future volumes will be published both online (catalogue only) and on paper. At the time of writing, the next volume to appear will be RPC VI Elagabalus – Maximinus (AD 218–38) by D. Calomino (London), with contributions by S. Matthies (Berlin) and A. Burnett (London). The online version will appear on the website during 2017, and the printed book about two years later.

Work is well under way again on RPC IV The Antonine Period (AD 138–92), by C. Howgego (Oxford) and V. Heuchert (Oxford), and we expect that two parts (Asia; and Alexandria) will be updated on the website, and completed and ready for printing within a couple of years. A similar schedule is envisaged for RPC X Valerian – Diocletian (AD 253-97), by W.E. Metcalf.

http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk

viii

At the same time, teams are being assembled to work on RPC V (193-218), RPC VII.2 (AD 238-44) and VIII (AD 244-49). RPC V is being organised by M. Amandry and A. Hostein. As for RPC VII.2 and VIII, both volumes will be addressed simultaneously by an international team coordinated by M. Spoerri Butcher. Work on this project has started and the resulting volumes will be jointly edited by J. Mairat and M. Spoerri.

For an up-to-date list of all people involved, please see http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/project/ Anyone with unusual material is invited to contact them.

RPC Supplement 4. Vol. I SPAIN: Carteia. Patricia, Acci, Carthago Nova,

Carteia

In the ancient city of Carteia a strip of flans have been found during the archaeological digs (A. Arévalo, J. Blánquez y L. Roldán, El taller monetal de Carteia (San Roque, Cádiz): recientes testimonios arqueológicos,

XV

Congreso Nacional de Numismática (Madrid, 28-30 octubre 2014), Madrid, 2016, pp. 897-914). It seems to belong to the type RPC 122 (ca. 7 g and 21-22 mm). The alloy of the flan strip is composed of copper (97 %) and a small quantity of tin. These analyses are similar to that of coins belonging to type RPC 122 from Carteia. This find has allowed the authors to consider the feasability of the mint being located in the same place as the discovery of the strip.

In RPC I, the coinage of Juba and Ptolemaeus was not re-examined. See now M. Spoerri Butcher, Le monnayage d’argent émis par le roi Juba II de Maurétanie (I): catalogue des monnaies datées, SNR 94 (2015), pp. 33-114 and pl. 5-20 (but look at the version on Academia.edu for the corrected numbering on the plates). 607 coins have been recorded, issued in the regnal year 6 (20/19 BC) and then between years 30 (AD 5/6) and 48 (AD 23-24). In addition, Ptolemaeus, Juba II’ son, starts coining from AD 21/22. A die study is provided: 184 obverse dies were observed (n/d = 3.3; D = 225, with a 95% confidence interval of 210-241).

1774/1. The P coin was part of the Pellerin coll. and published by him in Recueil de médailles de rois qui n’ont point encore été publiées (Paris, 1762), pp. 35-6 and Pl. IV (under Cotys V); it was read as BUZANTIΩN/EPI MATRΟDΟRΟU PRΟXENΟU. Another drawing figures in M. C. Lenormant, Trésor de numismatique et de glyptique. Numismatique des rois grecs (Paris, 1849), p. 48 and Pl. XXIII, 15. Though Lenormant followed Pellerin’s description, the drawing shows HRΟXENΟU, not PRΟXENΟU. F. Imhoof Blumer, Bithynische Münzen, JIAN 1 (1898), p. 17, also misdescribed the coin, as did the authors of RPC. A closer examination confirms the reading HRΟXENΟU, Heroxenos.

The Posthumous Commemoration of Augustus in Rome and the Provinces, NC 175, 2015, pp. 76-78 and Pl. 8, A1, suggesting the mint of Byzantium and a date in the second century AD. But the coin of Livia (see below), unknown at the time, makes this date unlikely and a Tiberian date probable.

Head of Dionysos, with ivy wreath, r.; in front, thyrsusRΟD-IΩN; female cult statue standing front flanked by two thymiateria (?)

1. P 1998.915, 0.92. The head of Dionysos on the obverse has a thyrsos in front, like the head of Dionysos on the large bronzes RPC I, 2757 signed by Antigonos, the only issue of that series to add a thyrsos to the obverse. The female cult-statue flanked by two thymiateria (?) on the reverse of this new silver coin must be that on the reverses of the later large bronzes BMC 399/Cop 891, now in RPC III, 2687. We guess that the new silver coin is to be associated with the Antigonos bronzes (early-mid first cent. AD) rather than the later large bronzes with the female cult-statue, since the latter have Helios on the obverse, the temporary practice of putting Dionysos on the obverse having ceased just before the Neronian issues of Rhodes.

Tahberer, A Series of Coins from an Uncertain Caesarea, NC 175, 2015, pp. 47-55 where it is argued with good arguments, mostly stylistic, that these series were struck at Mopsus between AD 45/6 and AD 50/1, during a period Mopsus called itself Caesarea, though “one can only speculate as to why the change was so short-lived” (p. 53).

4094. J. Olivier and C. Parisot-Sillon, Les monnayages aux types de Cléopâtre et Antoine. Premiers résultats et perspectives, BSFN 68.9 (Nov. 2013), pp. 256-68. The mint attribution of the tetradrachms is discussed. Their low fineness (cu above 20%) differs from the purer silver at Laodicea and Aradus and compares well, as do the trace elements, with coins of Antioch (68%). A dating to 36 to 32/1 is considered likely. 41-48 obv. dies have been identified. The similar denarii (RRC 543), which are dated to 34/33 until no later than 32, have a different fineness and trace elements, and differ in other technical details; they were perhaps minted in northern Syria, with 63-80 obv. dies. The mixture of Greek and Roman elements in the inscriptions and designs is emphasised.

Cleopatra and “was used to mark coins circulating in the Syro-Phoenician territories which were given to her by Mark Antony”. A countermarked specimen of RPC 4216 is illustrated (CNG EA 347, 25 March 2015, lot 395).

Several articles in the volume (ed.) D. M. Jacobson and N. Kokkinos, Judaea and Rome in Coins (London, 2012) are relevant to RPC I, mostly for general questions such as the degree of Romanisation (A. Burnett, R. Barkay, D. Syon) and the use of different scripts (A. Lykke).

Herod (40-4 BC)

4901-11. D. T. Ariel and J.-P. Fontanille, The Coins of Herod. A Modern Analysis and Die Classification (Leiden, 2012) analyse the coinage in detail. D. M. Jacobson, ‘Herodian bronze and Tyrian silver coinage’, Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins 130 (2014) 2, pp. 138-54, has discussed the coinage of Herod, and the arguments against the attribution of Tyrian silver to him. See also D. M. Jacobson, ‘Herod the Great’s Royal Monogram’, INR 9 (2014), pp. 95-102.

4901-4. See R. Bracey, ‘On the graphical interpretation of Herod’s year 3 coins’, in (ed.) D. M. Jacobson and N. Kokkinos, Judaea and Rome in Coins (London, 2012), pp. 65-84.

Herod Antipas (4 BC-AD 39)

4917A. D. Hendin, ‘A new coin type of Herod Antipas’, INJ 15 (2006), pp. 56-61, has published a coin inscribed TETRA [ ]HS D corn ear/ [ ]HR followed, perhaps but not definitely, by a W[ ] palm tree, which he attributed to Sepphoris. Thus the name ‘Herod the tetrarch’ is a reasonable reconstruction, but the interpretation of D as year 4’ is much less sure, since it would be unusual to omit any sort of indication for ‘year’, such as the L which occurs on all other coins of Antipas. It was found in trade with coins said to have been found in the Jordan Valley. A natural interpretation of that phrase might suggest somewhere further south than Galilee (and anyway Sepphoris, to which it is attributed, is nowhere near the valley), and the coin does look worrying like the prutot normally attributed to Jerusalem, with which indeed it was associated. Hendin has subsequently suggested (in litt.) that the coin might even be attributable to Herod I.

Procurators

4954. with L LG? N. Kokkinos, ‘The prefects of Judaea 6-48 CE and coins from the Misty period 6-36 CE’, in ed D. M. Jacobson and N. Kokkinos, Judaea and Rome in Coins (London, 2012), pp. 85-122, at 90-93, has discussed several candidates of coins of Augustus that might be dated to the year LG (33). If correctly read, the coins open up the question of the era used on the procuratorial coins.

Agrippa I (37-44)

4980. D. B. Hendin and R. Bachar, ‘A So-Called Agrippa I Coin Reattributed to Gaba’, INR 11 (2016), pp. 119-26. plausibly reattribute the coin to Gaba, perhaps in the late first century AD.

‘Pseudo-autonomous’ coins

The attribution of the following three types of ‘pseu-do-autonomous’ coins (35A-C) to the reign of Gordian III is based on H. von Fritze, ‘Die autonome Kupfer-prägung von Kyzikos’, Nomisma 10 (1917), pp. 1-32. They were mentioned in the original publication of

RPC VII.1, but without catalogue number. Note that the average weight of types 35B and C (3.39 and 3.58 g) is higher than that of similar coins from the period of Gordian III (2.39 g), which might actually speak against an attribution to his reign.

CILICIA

Seleucia ad Calycadnum

1331–3. Same obv. die: see Forum Ancient Coins, topic 109181.0, 24 Nov. 2016, where C. Clay suggests to read ΓΑ ΙΟΥΛΙ rather than ΓΑΙ ΟΥΑΙ (ΤΡƐΒΩ ΓΑΛΛΟϹ): “So did the mint of Seleucia misunderstand a title of Gallus’ too, writing not only ‘Sabin’ instead of ‘Afin’ for Volusian, but ‘Iouli’ (Latin ‘Julius’ or ‘Julianus’) instead of ‘Vibi’ for Gallus? […] If these three obv. dies – one of Gallus and two of Volusian – indeed give the em-perors wrong names, then we can tentatively date their creation to c. late summer–fall 251 AD”. An interesting and very convincing idea.

Tarsus

1376 corr. The obv. inscription reads ƐΡƐΝΝΙΑΝ ΑΙΤΡΟΥϹΚΙΛΛΑΝ ϹƐ (not ΑΙΤΡΟΥϹΚƐΙΛΛΑΝ). C. Clay has pointed out (in litt.) that the obverse die of 1376/1–2 (same obv. die as 1368/1–18, 1369/1–3, 1372/1, 3–4, 7–11, 1375/1–8, 1378/1–3, 1379/1–6) is here altered in order to correct the erroneous ΑΝΝΙΑΝ to ƐΡƐΝΝΙΑΝ.

Flaviopolis

1533 corr. The correct description of the obverse busts is: bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Etrus-cus, r., confronting bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Hostilian, l.
