Hello @Justin Cohen Coin 1 looks like a Divus Antoninus Pius. I think "Divus" means that the coin was minted, after Antoninus Pius died, as a way of honoring Antoninus Pius. Perhaps the coin was minted, by one of the successors, of Antoninus Pius. On the obverse of the coin, it says "DIVUS M ANTONINUS ...". Coin 2 looks like Hadrian. The portrait looks like Hadrian. If you look closely at the legend on the obverse, perhaps you can find the letters "HADRIAN" somewhere in there. Coin 3 looks like Hadrian. The portrait looks like Hadrian. Coin 4 for this coin I don't know. If you want to get more specific, with the coin attributions, there are some useful ancient coin search web sites, and books. I posted the following information, in your previous 2 threads. However, it seemed like, you didn't notice it. Therefore, I'll post it again, here : 1. ACsearch : https://www.acsearch.info/ Free. To use the basic search feature (or perhaps to view large photos of coins. I've forgotten), you have to create an account, but it's free. To view hammer prices, you have to have a paid subscription. I just use the free search feature. I use this web site, more than any other. 2. CNG Research : https://cngcoins.com/Coins_sold.aspx Free. I recently discovered this, after someone on CoinTalk mentioned it. It looks pretty good. Just type keywords, into the "Search" text area. CNG has a stellar reputation, with experts who know what they are doing. 3. Roma Search : https://www.romanumismatics.com/ Free. I also recently discovered this, after someone on CoinTalk mentioned it. It also looks pretty good. Roma also has a good reputation, with experts who seem to know what they are doing. However, I don't know as much about Roma, as I know about CNG. 4. Wildwinds : https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/i.html Free. A good, free search web site. I have used this a lot. 5. CoinArchives : https://www.coinarchives.com/a/ Free. A good, free search web site. I've used this a few times. 6. Coin books : Books about coins, are very helpful for attributing ancient coins, and learning about the coins, and fun to read. However, books cost money. Some ancient coin collectors don't have any coin books at all. Other ancient coin collectors have spent a significant amount of money on coin books. You can find recommended coin books, by searching the CoinTalk threads. The books that I use the most, for ancient coin attributions, are the following Sear books : Greek Coins And Their Values Volume 1, Greek Coins And Their Values Volume 2, Roman Coins And Their Values Volume I (Roman Republic, Julius Caesar, and the first 11 emperors), Roman Coins And Their Values Volume V (Constantine II through Romulus Augustus), and Byzantine Coins And Their Values.
You would also need to provide the size and weight for a clear attribution. And a good idea is to provide one coin per thread. Coin 1 - time of Commodus, obverse - DIVVS M ANTONINVS PIUS, head of Marcus Aurelius, bare, right / CONSECRATIO SC, eagle on globe. Could be depending on the size - Sestertius - RIC III Commodus 654 (sestertius) or 663 (as) Coin 2 - looks to be a Hadrian dupondious like this one https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7538068 (there are 3 very similar dupondii in Hadrian coinage, depending on the portrait features) Coin 3 - Hadrian tetradrachm from Alexandria like this https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=150327 Coin 4, as mentioned by GinoLR, is an As from the time of Augustus, issued by P. Lurius Agrippa RIC I (second edition) Augustus 428 CAESAR AVGVST PONT MAX TRIBVNIC POT / P LVRIVS AGRIPPA IIIVIR A A A F F
Thank you for the research tools! I have actually been using them a lot since your last post and they have helped with a lot of other coins. Now I am only posting some coins that I can not find after utilizing those websites.
You're welcome. It's just about practice and knowing how to search. I particularly like your first 2 coins btw.
