    The second (on the right) is an autonomous hellenistic bronze of Thessalonica. Above the club (to r.) you can read THESSALO in Greek letters and below, NIKEWN. Monograms above and below legends.

    No clue other than the hairstyle suggests Faustina II.

    I agree with @Roman Collector. A provincial of Faustina II. No idea which city it's from, though.
