    These two coins came from a Roma lot, and I'm having trouble getting anywhere.


    This one appears to be Antoninus Pius. I can't find a good match, closest I came was a coin from Adana, but the WW example is too big (21mm)

    16mm

    The next one just doesn't ring any bells at all. The portrait looks like Augustus or some other skinny-neck guy, but I'm at a loss.

    Thank you!

    Unless you can reconstruct even part of the reverse legend, it'll be next to impossible to attribute.

    Obv: Laureate head of Antoninus Pius right
    Rev: Turreted and draped bust of Tyche right
