    Ardatirion Où est mon poisson

    Whoa! That's a lot to ID. The 1st one is Greco-Baktrian, I need more time on it. The second is Elagabalus. The third is Greek, maybe Seleukid, maybe Seleukos I. The fourth is a Macrinus provincial from the Black Sea area. The fifth Claudius II. The sixth a Diocletian tetradrachm from Alexandria, year 5.
