    I'm a noob here, but the reverse on #2 makes me thinks it's a Caracalla from Mesopotamia-Rhesaena. Best of luck on the others.

    #2. Or quite possibly Elagabalus provincial?

    #1. Might be Antiochos (one of them) of Seleucid? Or from the Amisos, Pontos area?

    #3. Reminds me of Vespasian...

    Interesting!

    I think the guesses posted seem reasonable but #3 seems suggestive of Vitellius to me:confused:

    Nobody had any guess on #4..So I assume it's not Roman, Greek etc..Most likely eastern origin?

    Here's another Elagabalus provincial obverse for comparison... Similar funky neck.
