Hey there, Well, I have come to the final few coins of this collection. The others which have not been previously identified here, I believe I have figured out myself, but I might check back here later to make sure. So, here are the last 4 coins and, once more, thank you to all who have helped out with these posts. I have found a new appreciation for these coins and am considering branching out. My primary collection (UK and Commonwealth) has been stagnant as of late, I haven't found affordable examples of the pieces I am still lacking for some time, and I would love to begin another collection. That is, after much more research into the area. 1. 2. 3. 4. Thanks again!

Sweet coins, RTS => I'm very happy to hear that you may have caught the ol' ancient coin bug! Godspeed, either way
Awesome, thanks for the help @Roman Collector and @zumbly ! And, @stevex6 , I do believe I'm infected. The past few days I've spent most of my spare time reading up on ancients and my appreciation grows with every page I "turn." Reading the books and articles on my tablet, not any actual page turning going on.
