Overall, beyond minor concerns, RPC III holds its promises as a masterpiece that no one with an interest in the period will be able to dispense with. Loaded with invaluable information and genuine discoveries that will change some previously accepted facts, combining ancient sources’ erudite knowledge with the use of the most recent relevant works, these volumes manage to combine scientific value with an undeniable sense of enjoyment as texts, tables, charts, pictures and the general layout all contribute to the reader’s own pleasure. Furthermore, what makes these volumes even more remarkable lies with their collaborative aspect.

One can only thank the authors for the years of work they have invested and salute their production with utmost respect and admiration.
Roman provincial coins in central Europe – a brief update
Pecunia Omnes Vincit, conference proceedings of the fifth and sixth international numismatic and economic conference, 2020
In 1973 Andrzej Kunisz presented a pioneering article on the subject of Roman Provincial Coins (RPC) (then known as “autonomous coins” 2 ) finds in east and central Europe. The materials for a single-state research were very scarce, but by broadening the scope of the research to a multi-state area of Barbaricum, he was able to draw some interesting general conclusions. In this paper, that research was built upon by updating and expanding the scope of research to Roman limes area of Rhine and upper Danube, and by supplementing it with a significant rise of the find materials. This paper will focus mainly on statistical and geographical comparisons of the finds. The aim of this paper being bringing more attention to these finds by showing that through their widespread in central Europe they are less of a peculiarity than previously thought.

The aim of the present article is to summarize the current state of research on the problem of inflow of Roman provincial coins struck in Balkan mints into Lesser Poland in Antiquity. The term “provincial coinage” as used here refers to coins from the mints producing coins for the purpose of provincial circulation, as well as to the so-called pseudo-autonomous and autonomous coinages struck in various local centres. To this time, 11 bronze coin finds produced in mints located in Dacia, Thrace, Moesia Superior and Macedonia have been registered in Lesser Poland. The chronological scope of this presentation is focused generally on the 3rd century AD; however, two coins come from the reigns of Augustus and Antoninus Pius.
Coinage in the Roman Provinces: the RPC and CHRE projects
Journal of Roman Studies
Roman coinage forms an astoundingly rich body of material. That applies to coins struck by the centre as much as so-called provincial coinage. The latter can be roughly categorised as 1) coins struck by cities in the east of the Roman Empire, and for the Julio-Claudian period also in the west (in the western provinces, cities stopped issuing coins around the end of Claudius’ reign); 2) coinages issued in the name of federations of cities (koina) or coins celebrating alliances between cities (so-called homonoia-coins); 3) coins struck by ‘friendly kings’; and 4) so-called ‘provincial issues’ — mainly drachms, didrachms and tetradrachms, but also bronzes — that were mostly struck by important mints such as Alexandria, Antioch and Caesarea (in Cappadocia), probably under the supervision of Roman magistrates, to circulate in specific provinces.1
