We apologise if we have inadvertently omitted anyone. Photographs of the casts were made, as usual, by Dominique Biasi (Paris). Most of the digital pho- tos come from www.coinarchives.com, a wonderful tool. The book by A. Johnston, Greek Imperial Denominations, ca. 200-275, A Study of the Roman Provincial Bronze Coinages of Asia Minor (RNS SP 43, London 2007) contains many insights relevant not only to RPC VII.1 but also to vols. I-II. For a general discussion of the material included in RPC I, especially of the inscriptions used for the different emperors, see A. Burnett, ‘The Augustan revolution seen from the mints of the provinces’, JRS 101 (2011), pp. 1-30. iv INTRODUCTION 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 ofRPC I in 1992 and 1997. The second reprinting - in 2006 - of RPC I was the occasion to publish also a second Supplement to RPC. This new Supplement, Supplement 3, includes new material from 2005 to 2013, and covers the Julio-Claudian period (RPC I), the Flavian period (RPC II) as well as the coinages of Gordian I to Gordian III struck in the province of Asia (RPC VII, 1). The material has been arranged in three sequential parts, the first covering RPC I, the second covering RPC II and the third RPC VII, 1. The decision to publish the second Supplement on-line rather than as a book was taken for three reasons: first of all, it was easier; second it improved access for scholars, collectors, museum cu- rators and other users; and thirdly, an electronic version was easier to search. The idea was well received, so the third Supplement is published the same way. Of course, we all know the difficulty of searching trough a Supplement, needless to say 3 Supple- ments! So the decision was taken to incorporate all the material of Supplements 1, 2, and 3 in one single Supplement, which will be available on-line for the next Congress in Taormina (Sept. 2015).
