    Both look to be very nice pieces with good detail. I think both of these would have no problem selling in the Ancients marketplace.

    I agree, these would sell well. But make sure to read any laws regarding ancient coins and antiquities in Libya if you decide to sell them. Some countries have strict laws and punishments for selling or even simply owning pieces representing their cultural history.

    The first appears to be a sestertius of Maximus, 235 or 6 - 238.

    Obv.: MAXIMVS CAES GERM, bare-headed and draped bust right, from behind.
    Rev.: PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS, Maximus standing left, scepter in right, transverse spear in left, two military standards behind / S / C.
    Reference: RIC IV 13

    This is a scarce and somewhat valuable coin in a nice grade.
