Hi Caius,

You are supposed to post one coin/photo per thread.

The reverse of the third coin looks like it may be a human riding on the back of an animal (a bird?).

Dear Caius D and Board,

Your first coin (from the left) has a Vesta reverse.  A probable match, assuming your piece is a sestertius:

Your second coin is a Roman provincial issue of Geta of Phrygian Hadrianopolis Sebaste.  Another example, with an obverse die match to your piece:

I haven't properly investigated your third coin yet.  It would be good to post it separately as requested.

Hope this helps.


Best regards,
