Nice! You might be interested in this thread about the iconography and dating of the Julia Domna coin. Read the whole thread, not just my speculations at the beginning.
The first coin is great. I just have one coin with Ajax myself. A smaller version of yours. Lokris Opuntii (369 - 338 B.C.) AR Hemidrachm O: Wreathed head of Persephone right. R: Ajax advancing r., nude but for crested helmet, brandishing dagger and shield; kantharos between his legs. 2.6g 16mm BCD Lokris 98; SNG Copenhagen 50.
Mine is also the smaller size but with the jellyfish between the legs. Your larger coin shows the internal structure of the shield nicely.
Nice stater! There really is an interesting variety of control symbols, shield decorations, and Ajax's stances and body builds in this series. LOKRIS, Lokri Opuntii AR Stater. 12.09g, 24.9mm. LOKRIS, Opus mint, circa 350-340 BC. BCD Lokris-Phokis 60; McClean 5433; HGC 4, 992 var. (control). O: Head of Demeter left, wreathed with grain. R: OΠONTIΩN, Ajax the Lesser advancing right, brandishing sword and holding shield with inner decoration of griffin and palmette; spear on ground behind, Λ between legs.
Really enjoy your 3 additions, @Malleus Maleficarum ! VERY nice. And, bottlecaps from the Seleukids are always fun coins to capture! Well done. Seleukid Demetrios I Soter 162-150 BCE AE 17 serrate 16.8mm 3.9g Antioch on Orontes mint Horse Hd L - Elephant Hd R- SC 1646 SNG Spaer 1299-1304
All very nice. Regarding the Julia Domna/Isis denarius, you may also be interested in my own post about my example, at https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-imperial-coin-with-isis-and-horus-on-the-reverse.359651/, including the subsequent discussion.
