Three follises

Hi,

Please help me to define whether those three follises are Imperial issues or Arab-Byzantine imitations.

Looks like you have three imitations dating from the Heraclean period, probably struck by the arab conqueror in the provinces taken from the Empire. The second looks more real, but you can see ANO with only one N instead of two and I believ this one is also an imitation.
