Poor quality Romans

The attached coins have been cleaned as good as possible. There's not much left of the original coin; hopefully enough for some kind of determination. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Hi,

They both look like third century "barbarous radiate" imitations.

The top one is based on the PIETAS AVGG coin of Tetricus II with the sacrificial implements on the reverse, the form of the jug being evident on the reverse.

The second coin is possibly official, but probably not, and is the form of a deified Claudius II coin with the altar reverse.

Regards,

Mauseus
