    #2 looks like some sort of AE denomination from Mesembria, Thrace, due to the META inscription.

    Please provide approximate weights in grams and sizes in millimeters when asking for attributions. On for instance coin #1 it will help us narrow things down.

    #3 looks like a bust of senate/roma semi-autonomous coins, maybe form mysia?

    #1 is a bronze triens of the Roman Republic, I think. Head of Minerva right, oooo above / Prow right, ROMA above, oooo below. Something like Sear 1033; Crawford 41/7b; Sydenham 103. Here's the example at Wildwinds.

    The weight and style suggest to my eye that #1 may be a first-century Italian imitative as opposed to an official Rome mint triens but I say that with no great conviction. A sharper picture of the reverse may help better ID it.
