    I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to nail down an attribution for these two Asklepios coins.

    Caracalla AE16 Assarion
    Obv: ---ANTONINOC. Laureate head right.
    Rev: --POLEITON. Asklepios standing left, holding serpent-entwined staff.
    Diam: 16mm
    Wt: 2.5g

    My best guess is Hadrionopolis, Thrace, but I all the examples I find are of much larger 26mm+ sizes.

    Septimius Severus AE18 Diassarion
    Obv: unclear. Bare(?) head right.
    Rev: --AKTP--??. Asklepios standing facing left, holding serpent-entwined staff.
    B in right field, potentially diassarion denomination.
    Diam: 18mm
    Wt: 4.3g

    My best guess is Acrasus, Lydia, but I couldn't find any examples with the right field mark like that.
