I'm sure other posters will be able to provide better answers than me. 1. A. Pius Sestertius? RIC 0964, possibly? 2. Faustina Sestertius? Regardless, it is probably one of the wives of one of the Nerva-Antonine Emperors. 3. Need clearer photos. 4. Caligula As Vesta reverse? 5. 3rd Century, Gordian III maybe?
Interesting selection of Antonine bronzes. Weights would be helpful for attribution. Welcome to Coin Talk!
The 19 grams would be a sestertius - Antoninus Pius, Annona (goddess/personification of the grain supply) on the reverse holding a rudder and hiking her foot on a ship's prow (signifying the grain fleet bringing foodstuffs to Rome from Africa). There are a lot of variations of this type for Antoninus Pius, so I am not sure which one. A nice, hefty one to have. The second photo is Faustina I - denomination is an "as" She was the wife of Antoninus Pius. This seems to be issued after her death - a lot of these were issued, most with goddesses on the reverse. I am not exactly sure which one here. The reverse inscription appears to be AETERNITAS. The next three look like Roman Provincials to me - these were issued by Roman cities in the eastern Mediterranean, Asia Minor, Balkans, etc. There are a gazillion types on these, and it will be a lot of fun trying to figure these out. That one with a temple in particular is interesting - and a desirable type for collectors.
The second is an as of Faustina II with the FELICITAS S C reverse. It was issued exclusively for use in Roman Britain. Faustina Jr, Augusta AD 147-175. Roman Æ as or dupondius, 11.41 g, 23.8 mm. Rome, AD 152-156. Obv: FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FIL, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: FELICITAS SC, Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus, left hand on hip. Refs: RIC (Pius) 1395; BMCRE 2187; Cohen 108; RCV --.
Oops. I got my Faustina's mixed up. That Roman Britain connection is pretty interesting historically.
