Cool coin! I recently acquired this one in a mixed lot, and have had a bugger of a time nailing down the attribution. I was trying to find a...
It would appear that not many of this type have been available by auction for the last several years. The few that have been are in lesser...
The offerings from Palmyra Heritage Gallery(starting on pg. 9 & cont. pg. 10) pique some interest, but I grumble a little when the 'opening price'...

For your 5th coin I went to acsearch.info and plugged 'the name of the deity, laureate, thunderbolt, ae' into the search tab, and after scrolling...
Your 5th coin has a Greek legend. I see a laureate portrait on the obverse and what appears to be a figure on the reverse with a spear, or...
Your 4th coin obverse portrays a gorgon. Reverse is a winged-figure deity <---What Greek deity is commonly portrayed as winged?
Your 3rd coin(at first glance) appears to be Roman Provincial with a somewhat commonly recognizable portrait of a mid 2nd-Century emperor.
