RPC Republic era
« on: February 19, 2018, 09:17:30 am »
Hi all,
is there an RPC in the works for the Republic era?  There certainly seems to be adequate material and need.  I am actually a bit surprised it hasn’t already been done given the high interest in the republic.

The late RBW donated his large collection of Republican provincial coins to the ANS.  It would make a wonderful catalogue of the series, but I'm not certain of the ANS' plans in that regard.  You might ask them.

Hi Aleph,

I am not sure if Cara and I are fully understanding your question.

Many Republic era coins are already listed in RPC.

Here is one:

I think Aleph means coins struck before the mid-1st century BC, the starting point chosen by RPC being the death of Caesar in 44. So much of the "Imperatorial period" is actually covered. But in the absence of an Imperial (or Imperatorial) bust or name on the coin, it can be hard to pin it down to a narrower date of issue than, say, "1st cent. BC". I have a number of coins that I reckon were struck mid- to late-century, but no way of proving it.
It would be good if someone worked on those coins at the ANS!
