    The first coin was struck in Rome for Antioch, I think. It's a silver antoninianus with Valerian on the obverse and Diana holding a torch with her 2 hands on reverse. It weighs 3.25 g. RIC 213. The second is a bronze coin having possibly Fortuna being crowned by Victory on the reverse. Obverse shows a Roman Emperor head-Left, possibly Valerian. It weighs 12.8 g. Please post your views. Thanks..

    I can read ANUS AUG in right field of obverse. The Emperor has a round military sign on his left shoulder.
