    Number one looks like Aurelian. Two and Five look like Licinius.

    A great site to help attribute these is http://wildwinds.com/coins/index.html

    The partial inscription search is a great help with these.

    Thanks for the link, does this seem right for number one?:

    #2:

    Licinius I AE Follis. 315-316 AD. IMP C VAL LICIN LICINIVS P F AVG, laureate head right / IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG, Jupiter standing left, holding Victory on globe & scepter, to left a K & eagle at foot with wreath in its beak; (wreath)/B/X to right; ALE in ex.

    You have the emperors correct, but you cannot come up with a complete attribution, as you can not see the mint mark in the exergue.

    What do you guys think on #3, Probus? Thanks stainless, what do you think about my attribution? I think I might be off, but it's close I believe, lol?

    Is it because of the pics, or is it because of the coin?

    The link you posted is Probus and number three is Claudius II. I think.

    Ardatirion Où est mon poisson

    #3 is either Gallienus or Valerian. Note that the reverse legend is AVGG, implying TWO Augusti - Claudius II reigned alone.

    The link one is Probus I have a good hunch, and this is the detail for the reverse?:

    IOVI CONSERV

    (Dedicated to) Jove the preserver

    Jupiter standing l., presenting globe to Emperor standing right

    Thanks for the link Ardy (stainless gave it to me awhile ago though, lol) but I can't download things onto this computer, without clearing it with my mom, and she's not feeling well, so, lol. But I'm using forvm, and I think it's helping a little. What do you guys think on the last one, Balbinus?
