I will translate what's written underneath in French: Tarse hoard, gold multiples Severus Alexander cca 230 AD.

One of them looks like Cara not Sev Alex; who do you think the others look like?

The fellow with the lion skin must be Alexander.  The one right behind...looks very familiar, Lystrimachus?

Severus Alexander, Cara, Hercules (Alexander? I don't know a thing about Greek coins) and I don't know the last.

Ah, its just the one that looks like Severus Alex that is Severus Alex. The rest are medallions of X type, X being words I cant read.

But since they have the same title Tars Treasure then they probably arent actual coins/coin medallions, but soemthing artistic depicting famous people? They are of Alexander and Philip.

Verg, you must have even a larger picture, what does the 3rd row say exactly?

    That gold medallion of Sev. Alex. is authentic but it looks like an electrotype of it that they're exhibiting.
